Pros

When I started at Torc, it was a great team, and that never changed. All the engineers I worked with were great, as were the other staff, and I genuinely enjoyed interacting with my peers every day. I had lots of opportunities to learn, which I took lots of advantage of.

Cons

As the company grew, it lost its start up feel and started to turn into a poorly managed cesspit. Our compensation was tied to unachievable goals, bonuses were not paid on time, and entire teams (of talented engineers) were left spinning their wheels with no guidance from above. The culture of optimism just died, and it seems like HR and upper management are doing their best to keep it that way. Salaries are average at best, and raises are in short supply.

Pros

Working at Torc has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. The technology we're building is genuinely world-changing — autonomous trucking has the potential to transform how goods move across the country, and being part of that mission makes the work feel meaningful every single day. The pace is fast, which keeps things engaging. There's always something new to tackle, and the environment pushes you to grow quickly. If you thrive on momentum and like seeing your contributions matter, you'll feel right at home here. One thing that stands out is the flexibility around work hours. It's clear that leadership trusts employees to get the job done without micromanaging when or how you do it. That kind of autonomy makes a real difference for work-life balance.

Cons

The fast pace isn't for everyone — be ready to hit the ground running
