Pros

Above average pay, good benefits, interesting problems to solve, great minds and personalities across the company.

Cons

If you are considering working here, I recommend you look elsewhere. Torc is a shell of the company it once was: constant re-orgs, growing pains, CTO ambition, aggressive timelines -- there are a number of things to point to. Torc was great when I first started: pay, benefits, good infrastructure, good tooling, people that were committed to making things better and getting to where we need to go. Then we hired a CTO that told us we weren't product-focused, and in the process of redoing things we have gone backwards in many areas. I am a remote employee who feels like my days are limited due to in-office focused decisions. All new engineering positions are in-person in Ann Arbor. Three significant office shuffles have occurred in the last 6 months causing hundreds of people to make tough decisions. They want us to get to a 2027 commercial launch, and yet have destroyed the culture and caused constant pain and change for its employees.

Pros

Awesome industry/challenges (AV), incredibly brilliant and talented coworkers, great flexibility, good benifits

Cons

Poor communication of internal decision-making process and reasoning. Rapid change....at times before understanding if previous change worked.

Pros

- The topic of work (autonomous driving) is exciting! - Some great engineers at the lower level to work with and learn from - great money (while it lasts)

Cons

- Leadership is building an automotive company (from hierarchy), not a tech firm - Teams work very isolated from each other creating non-stop blockers hindering work - Lack of uniform processes and standards lead to every engineer from level 1 to 4 needing to become an expert in everything. Great for learning, but bad for moving forward as a company
