Pros

Lots of funding Being in San Francisco is really nice There are some smart folks scattered around in each department and they are a pleasure to work with, but most of the OG smart ones left over the past ones.

Cons

Arbitrary and constant policies changes Getting friendly with early members can get you success quickly but not for your work Most teams don’t have real managers, so if you wanted to come in and grow professionally under your managers tutelage, then forget about. It’s still full of kids trying to fit into grown up shoes.

Pros

Self-driving cars are a messy and exciting intellectual challenge. As an autonomous vehicle engineer, working on Planning & Controls, I enjoy coming to work every single day. Great benefits. Food, compensation, healthcare, even free rides in the Cruise car to/from work.

Cons

Workplace culture is a little bare-bones in implementation.
