Pros

Good perks of silicon valley , but you might not hold on to it longer. If you are good at kiss-up your manager then this is a great company. If you got a good leader then this company might work for you, but beware of new automotive division are with most bad people mangers.

Cons

No transparency in performance management process, you would be rated by your manager how ever they like you, no measurable system. Also no transparency in performance review process that means you will never know what is your rating ,because company policy allows manager not to disclose your review rating!. So you will be surprised one day that you are out the doors , because you had different opinion from you manger on executing tasks and rated bad in performance rating and no other manger inside the company will be ready to hire you for second chance, since you are already screwed and you will never know. Now imagine newly formed automotive division with mangers only have technical skills and no people management skills or leadership skills . Also company itself changing it goals every two months on automotive products, Good luck asking you manger about your goals ,where you will be provided nothing but retaliation and no way to prove why you got that bad rating, even after you are lucky enough to find out your rating from the classified top secret system.

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.
