Cruise Automation Employee Reviews

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.

Freedom to go where I want however I want.

Solid team, highly technical, hard workers, empathetic and humble.

They seem to genuinely care and prove it by adding value. They also hold each other accountable and are open to the workforce holding them accountable.

Giving direction and having empathy.

listening to the people below them, who are actually working with the specific hardware, software, or other domains, instead of ignoring issues until they cause multi-day downtime, and going on witch-hunts after

Salary (on the highish range for market), equity, bonus

Above market but the Cruise RSUs are not liquid

The company does analysis of the job market and gives raises to some to match market compensation

They treat contractors like employees without offering benefits.

We are contractors and we are not equal to full time employees. We are not included in parties, pictures, meetings, or anything related to fun happy stuff! For me its not about the money it's about being equal and having a voice that matters.

Peers are very helpful and helped me ramp up quickly

It is focused on the mission and safety

Have empathy and be more collaborative-- this is not the Hunger Games where winners win all.

I do enjoy spending time with my coworkers who do the same job as me.

More transparency (esp from executive and leadership team), better organization (right now the company is extremely chaotic and disorganized-- duplicate code and work happen all the time), clear and REALISTIC goals, better collaboration.

HR makes a lot of announcements about "culture" but nothing changes. Lots of infighting, politics, inexperienced management, and "bro culture"
