Interesting technical problems, smart, driven and accomplished colleagues, high compensation
Terrible WLB, favoritism, management churn, backstabbing, difficult industry, uncertain future.
8% of staff will be laid off 😢 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-gm-autonomous-layoffs/gm-self-driving-tech-unit-cruise-laying-off-about-8-of-staff-idUSKBN22Q34W #layoff #severance
It seems layoffs coming on Monday. Hopefully less impact on engineering and this doesn’t trigger like twitter last November
It has been a while since the shitshow began. But it actually happened today? Is engineer heavily impacted? What’s the percentage of different roles? Are any xoogler (including waymo) laid off?

Cruise is just suspended indefinitely in CA. What kind of impact or risk to employees do you think would be most probable? Could this lead to a potential layoff? What are your takes on this? I’d be particularly interested in learning from current Cruise employees.
Sometimes companies reward the people who stay when others get laid off. What’s the situation at Cruise now? 🥜? 💰?
Apparently a number of executives got let go today after an investigation and more layoffs are planned this week. Does anybody know the level of the leaders who got let go and when company-wide layoffs are happening ? Cruisers, chime in. TC: 300k #cruiseautomation #av #autonomous #waymo #zoox #gen...Read more
A recruiter from Cruise reached out to me. I like the role but I'm concerned about layoffs due to prevailing economic circumstances. Would it be a good idea to move to Cruise now?

A few employees were let go. Severance pkg is below industry standard
I still see a lot of job offers from Cruise, whats the situation inside. Are you seeing any layoffs?
I'm planning to join Cruise as a senior machine learning engineer. However, since I already experienced layoffs in January, I'm concerned that I may be laid off again in this tough job market. I'm aware that GM is planning to cut $2 billion in costs and has implemented a voluntary separation progra...Read more

Before the pandemic, they laid off a decent chunk of ppl. Should engineers be worried about layoffs?#tech #cruise #waymo #argoai
More layoff news. I was really excited when I first read about the tech but things haven’t gone well since then. https://www.forbes.com/sites/cyrusfarivar/2023/11/08/crisis-at-cruise-robotaxi-ceo-confirms-coming-layoffs-amid-scramble-to-rebuild-public-trust/?sh=76979d964ee0
Question in the title YOE:6 TC: 425K #cruise #layoffs
I see they are still hiring, they are very pre-revenue and are significantly behind waymo on many counts. What is driving their hiring and confidence?
I see Cruise Automation and Rivian with thousands of employees, data companies like Rubrik and Databricks with thousands of employees. Are we expecting a lot more layoffs over the next few years ?
