Bright Tech, Burnout Risk
Bright Tech, Burnout Risk
You get to work with some bright people and make great connections. You're working on cutting-edge tech and potentially becoming a part of autonomous history.
Compensation is good with great benefits. Team inclusion and diversity is strong. Safety is a big concern of Waymo's.
Poor communication occurs at times from team to team. The organizational structure is poor, with inconsistencies among leads/managers. The company tries to bite off more than it can chew, often leaving employees feeling overworked and burnt out. Not surprising, as there have been tons of layoffs this year. Some roles feel stunted, with no real opportunity to grow past a certain level.
