Pros

Good salary. Good medical insurance Interesting projects A lot of vision Engineers who have worked here a while tend to be very good. Very informal atmosphere.

Cons

Unrealistic schedules and failure to adjust to changes when projects are late. Complete lack of attention to work/life balance. You WILL be working nights and weekends. Not a lot of "middle" talent. Most people are either very good or very bad, which makes it hard to trust your peers at times. Disconnect with reality with regards to the size of the software organization. No 401k matching Performance bonus is very small and given out in unvested stock spread across 2-4 years, which makes it pretty much unnoticeable.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
