Pros

Driving cars that's pretty much it!

Cons

Everything, Upper Management has no clue what they are doing. I worked 80 hours in a week with NO LUNCH BREAKS. Very unclear sales expectations HR has no clue what is required by your sales when asked for 3 months straight and can not give a proper explanation even when they sit you down to terminate your employment they still can't explain properly. STAY AWAY!!!! Worst company ever. The cars are terrible, the company encourages ripping off the customer. Insurance companies tell customers not to take coverage's which in turn gets you fired because you can not make these so called sales that no one can explain to you that is required. Very Illegal company with very cloudy expectations.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
