Q&A With Cruise Automation Employees
Self-driving cars are the hardest engineering challenge of our generation. It’s even more difficult in a dense urban environment like San Francisco. But once that challenge is solved, our self-driving cars will help save lives, reimagine cities, redefine time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for many. To make that future a reality, we’re hiring the best and brightest engineers: individuals with skills and experiences ranging from data science to AI, robotics to hardware, and speech processing to data modeling.

Experience was very negative-- I know I am not alone in this (just look at the company reviews from other employees). Very disappointing as the mission sounds really cool.

It is focused on the mission and safety
Freedom to go where I want however I want.
