I have been gone through initial screen for software engineer role (simulation). 10+ yoe.
Any idea about culture and compensation??
here are my thoughts:
Aurora:
That is my top pick becasue of their impressive leadership team. BUT VW and now Hyundai left them after worki g with them about an year. This looks really BAD that they are not able to retain partners and they prefer to go and invest somewhere else. Plus their offers in terms of stock I heard is pretty low since they are selling minimum 10x growth in 1-2 years which i dont buy. i cleared phone screening but delaying onsite. anyone has any comments/opinion about Aurora??? please help.
Argo:
They have so much money. Recent offers i know are 30 to 50% above their current compensation. plus they have very solid backing of Ford and VW.
Aptiv:
It is already 20bn market cap. Does not attract me in terms of growth potential. but they were able to impress Hyundai to invet 4bn in them which is huge.
Cruise:
No way. i already told recruiter i am not interested. Heard bad feedback from a friend who works there.
TC: 450+ (in Pittsburgh)

Can someone comment from Aurora on how was their experience with Jinnah????
I am worried if that is case with top leadership then it can have trickled down effect.
Argo is promising too. Same business model as Aurora where they just want to build the software and partner with OEMs. I don’t think you can go wrong with either tbh.
The tech anywhere is at an early enough stage that everyone's hedging their bets - that's what we're seeing here. Hyundai remains partner to Aurora, but has also started a partnership with Aptiv (they started something with Yandex earlier this year too). We at Aurora aren't too worried, remain motivated and are continuing to make solid progress.
I don't know the terms of their JV. It sounds like it's valued at 4bn, with Hyundai putting in 1.6bn. I don't know how much stake they get in return - but it seems like it's quite high (compared to valuations in this industry).
I'd love to hear what people from Aptiv think about the deal.
