Daimler to Cruise Automation
Currently work on driverless technology and Daimler but I wonder if working at a more "new" company would offer better work culture and potentially pay. Anyone have experience working at a company like BMW/Daimler/Ford and then moving to a driverless tech company like Cruise?
Interviewed with Cruise but didn't take their offer as their equity was fairly low.
Yeah Cruise tends to pay high base but lower equity. Their equity used to be cold hard cash tired to GM but no longer
Was this for a software engineering position? Does the preparation involve only leetcode?
German companies often offer no equity at all and nothing to make up for it, which leaves employees compensated below market value - at least in the bay
Cruise is GM, isn't it?
~80% GM
GM is the majority stakeholder (idk percentage), though not the sole. They do hold all of the board seats though so π€
Aurora Nuro
Nuro > Aurora
@iDgz85 interesting. Why do you say that? Aurora has probably the best talent after only Waymo I would think.
Go try to get in Cruise. I worked with BMW/Daimler/Ford and recently left for the same reasons. I changed industries but you're not alone in this feeling. I moved to a startup. New work culture finally reminded me it doesnt have to be that way and comp went up a bit too.
Why not Uber...
Do it. Totally worth it.
Is Cruise a good company, a few months back people/employees were trashing it.
βJoin if you trust usβ ? Wtf does that even mean?
DM me for waymo referral
Almost certainly better compensation.
