Pros

Waymo is the top Autonomous Driving company. Competitors are a distant second. Work is fast paced with constant progress. The company is uncompromising in safety Internal Reorgs are thoughtful. This company listens to its employees. Benefits are many.

Cons

If you are a significant contributor, work life balance suffers. There is a deluge of information and the company is heavyweight on processes.

Pros

You get to work with some bright people and make great connections. You're working on cutting-edge tech and potentially becoming a part of autonomous history. Compensation is good with great benefits. Team inclusion and diversity is strong. Safety is a big concern of Waymo's.

Cons

Poor communication at times from team to team. The Organizational structure is poor with inconsistencies among leads/managers. The company tries to bite off more than it can chew, often leaving employees feeling overworked and burnt out. Not surprising as there have been tons of layoffs this year. Some roles feel stunted with no real opportunity to grow past a certain level.
