Pros: Amazing technology. Extremely talented, hard working ICs. Some leaders, like Jo Mardell and Joey Button, are great. They lead with expertise and empathy. Can't say that about others.

Cons: Extreme hero culture. Putting out fires is more valued than preventing them. Very hard to get promoted unless you fit the hero mold and are extremely active/visible to upper management. Only tricks to "fix" things are rebuilding apps from scratch or reorgs. The mass hiring of ex-Musk employees seems to have brought the culture of those companies with them. Intense adoption of AI has led to bugs shipped to production, and isn't leading to any reevaluation of safety of AI developed and quickly reviewed code in a system that controls drones. Wild.

Pros: There are no pros, the leaders at this company are highly incompetent. This is why the company failed to launch a major new retail partner on their app on time and caused them to push back their deadlines.

Cons: Youre senior director will decide on a whim RTO office thats effectively immediately, signal of impulsive leaders. Your manager will give you no actionable advice or roadmap on how to be successful in your role. Your manager will harass/threaten you daily Your co-workers will spread rumors about you, toxic environment. The senior engineers the application team will constantly talk bad about the founder, Ryan, code quality and lack of technical strength. Your manager will expect you to fly to a customer for a simple tasks at moment notice because "everything is better in person".

Pros: Amazing technology. Great telemetry, often data driven decisions. Some of the smartest people you'll work with.

Cons: Leadership is either ex-Tesla, or Musk-worshiping. Drive you to do insane/impossible things, and will fire people until they find someone who finds the 'trick answer' to their insane request that satisfies them and makes them feel like they were a good leader. Compensation includes/relies on equity, with no plan to IPO, and the board routinely denying any and every secondary market transaction that they can. If you work here, do not ever expect to liquidate your equity, and do not include it in your compensation.
