Pros

Well the wlb is good. Mainly because the management has no idea what it is doing.

Cons

Not a great place for autonomous vehicle development if you want to do so. Initially there was a lot of work done around creating autonomous solution and innovation associated with perception stack. Now most of the work has degraded to supporting the growing customer base. Not a lot of development. Mainly a systems related tasks.
