It's an auto-manufacturing company... not a tech company w/ tech culture
Pros
-Great med/dental/vision benefits -Intelligent, hard-working people -Good pay (not the highest, but good for a "start-up")
Cons
-Heavy micromanagement: Old-school, dry, micro-managers (many from previous car companies) are put in place, and it unfortunately it blocks any autonomy, creativity, and trust. -Automotive culture, not "tech culture' you'd normally find in Silicon Valley: It's important to keep in mind that this is an auto-manufacturing company.. not a tech company. You will not find that cool, laid-back, creative, social culture here. There are many tasks, deadlines, and deliverables, and you are reminded of that MULTIPLE times a week. -Meeting frenzy: 70% meetings, 30% time to get work done. (Probably 10% of that meeting time is actually productive. 0% is fun.) -No matching 401k -Limited PTO which accrues slowly during your first year. -Free food only on day 1.
