Pros

You get to work on some high profile projects within the auto industry. Amazing benefits Mature UX Organization AI forward company

Cons

Constant turn over, reorganizations and a planned rolling layoff program set to last for 5 years total. Limited ability for upward mobility. Very rare to get a promotion. They will lay you off if you make more money than others with your title. It’s not performance based it’s salary based and they will lay off entire departments after receiving praise, they will ask you to reapply and interview to work there again where you have to beat out everyone who just got laid off for limited positions.
