How is cruise SRE? Is the work exciting and how’s the culture? Are SREs valued relative to SwE?

    I'd recommend going SWE over SRE at cruise. If you're coming from Meta and are a PE, just know you won't be building systems and writing tons of code like a typical PE. At least that hasn't been the case in my experience so far. Expect to be embedded in a swe team to add basic shit like metrics/logging/identify poor sys design/ improve CI/CD,etc. It's uninteresting ops work and SWEs generally don't know why you're around nor care.

    I've been really disappointed so far and I'm looking for a way out. The PE skills I sharpened now dull by the day it feels. I regret not going SWE instead.

    With that said I can't speak for all of SRE at Cruise. Maybe it's better for some. I can only speak of my personal experience.

      OP
      Thanks for the response! Would you say you can still get work out the door at cruise as easily as Facebook back several years ago?
