Pros

Very collaborative environment. Multiple teams working together, continuously hitting major milestones is amazing!

We were able to iterate as fast as the ecosystem allows. Definitely exciting every day of the week.

Great perks and growth! I felt very valued.

Cons

Aggressive timelines can push for long hours. I enjoyed this aspect, but some didn't.

I believe with multiple projects running, those that hit critical milestones were energizing, while other projects that may not find as much success were not. These appended to the list of "learning experiences" for many.

Perks are fantastic, but there are no roles where "coasting" is an option.

Advice to Management

As resources are available, keep trying new things even if the data doesn't fully support it. Sometimes people don't know what they want (e.g., EVs).

Encourage employees to give more public talks. These should vary across topic and medium.
