      Pros

      1). 11 months job after I was layoff at GM. 2). Enjoy the beautiful silicon valley

      Cons

      1). Due to trouble at Detroit, they treat everyone from big three as muppet, they don't respect your experience, knowledge, especially these critical expertise to ensure product reliability. 2). They truely think they can start a new auto company out of silicon valley, yet they are now running out of money and way behind schedule 3). They have no idea what is necessary to ensure the car can last 8-10 years, several incidents where the car failed miserably!

      Pros

      Mostly good work environment, good benefits, but seems to be little time for career development.

      Cons

      High street and too quickly paced at times, little solid processes in place for many systems, changes too fast and cannot keep up with demand. Poor training methods for new hires.

      Pros

      Be part of a mission that means something. Make a difference in the world. Have your skills push humanity forward. Very tight knit company. Cutting edge technology. Management team that is willing to take significant risks for significant reward. Nice cafes. Open office. Growing very quickly, lots of opportunity for responsibility.

      Cons

      Lack of internal accountability, lack of focused career advancement / development. By necessity becoming more of a corporate environment. Easy to get more responsibility, hard to get more resources.
