Pros

Decent workplace, free coffees. Competitive salary Can't think of anything else

Cons

- Poor working culture, lack of trust and lack of communication between management and engineering. - Senior management lacks vision, their only interest is to grow number of heads and drive engineering cars for personal use. - No work, talented people are sitting idle. Getting frustrated by lack of direction and work - Autonomous driving team is wandering with lack of direction and no real work

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
