Pros

- Ambitious mission and real opportunity to succeed in achieving it. - Great team including former employees of Google, X, Vicarious, Akasha, Open Robotics, and more. - Leadership cares about the team and the culture. Heavily leverages the Conscious Business framework developed by Fred Kofman, and invests in employees learning the framework to ensure the whole company operates on the same "operating system." - Competitive compensation and benefits (in line with Google).

Cons

- Inherited some Google-level complexity and other Alphabet-imposed constraints that aren't suitable or helpful for a small, scrappy start-up.

Pros

- Great mission; impact-driven work - Exec team is strong and adaptable - I love that the Exec team solves things from first principles. They get things right most of the time and in the instances where they don't, they're quick to tack - Comp and benefits is comparable to Google / FAANG but at a much smaller scale with little bureaucracy and faster velocity - I feel that my work is rewarded and if I put 1 unit of work into it, I get at least 1 unit of return out of it, which I think is the most you can ask for out of a career and company.

Cons

- It's a startup and finding product market fit is a messy task - If you're looking for a role where you're going to coast, this is not the company.
