Pros

Waymo provides many opportunities for growth, especially since each employee needs to wear multiple hats. You’re working with some of the smartest people in tech. You receive Alphabet perks (401k, cafeteria, internal resources)

Cons

While the company is ahead of most competitors with their technology, their internal org infrastructure is what needs the most work in order for them to succeed long term. It seems as though poor upper management, politics, lack of space, and lack of culture is the reason why most employees leave. Unfortunately, there is a lack of empathy and comaraderie, which results in slow decision making and goals changing too often.
