      A Sad Trajectory

      Business Outlook

      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.

      Good Working Level Teams. Bad Senior Leadership.

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation Working level teams are hardworking, dedicated, and top talent.

      Cons

      Decisions made by VPs are not aligned across divisions or their own teams. Priorities are mixed across teams. VPs kick off major changes with ambiguous details and don't follow through to complete them to enable success. Senior leadership fails to set priorities or make critical decisions in a timely manner. Senior leadership is arrogant, not accountable, and is allowed to continue to make the same mistakes. Senior leadership creates serious issues by not understanding the impact of their decisions. Working level teams must show them the issues created and support they need to correct them. In many cases they will not get the resources or tools needed for resolution. You must push for career development because your manager won't have time to think about it.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Interesting project, used to have a pretty good work culture - salary portion of compensation is "fair" for non silicon valley company competiting in the same space. Total comp is not competitive - hence the inability to attract top talent. -reasonable project timeline if everyone is on the same page

      Cons

      - Executive/Senior Leadership is poor and inexperience; the relocation/addition of offices, acquisition that has been largely disassembled, and etc. - inappropriate talent acquistion/development/attrition strategy; cutting bottom 5% should be the norm but done with dignity and not a surprise - funding - still a R&D project no matter what the VPs and above are trying to spin for the investors; natural resistance to a product development lifecycle. - investors in the self driving space are expecting metrics that exceeds the industy leader to earn their attention and commitment; no one is going to invest in a company without a non-replicable competitive advantage - talent strategy is to avoid hiring in places where the talent is in abundance due to cost; top talent requires top compensation, USA is a capitalistic society and no one is going to work for less to exchange for stability unless you are the clear industry leader. - used to be a dual class employment scheme, where a significant portion of the employees are not subjected to company OKRs and get FULL bonus pay regardless their performance; should be better now though - lack of accountability and over-emphasis on work life balance; marathon or sprint, you still need to make positive progress.
