Pros

Personal Background: Software Engineer, joined Cyngn around 1 year ago. Pros: - Promising business story & technical goals compared with most other startups that focus on Robo Taxi - Great opportunities to work at core techs in autonomous driving. You can learn from all the teams and modules if you want. It helps quickly become the "full-stack" (both software and hardware) master in Autonomous Driving industry, which is almost impossible for me if at other companies. - A well-diversified engineering team and friendly environment - Competitive package compared with other startups (I didn't expect the option to come true at first, but it seems to have a higher change become real cash now)

Cons

- keeping in stealth for a long time. It really made recruiting difficult. Well, it finally came out of stealth mode recently... - Well, I don't like too much health food for lunch at Cyngn, but anyway I lost weight in return... - The codebase can be more testable

Pros

The people are nice and I learned a lot from the people I interacted with on a daily basis.

Cons

Lack of communication, c-suite manages in absentia and doesn't take accountability. Promotes a toxic culture of smoke and mirrors and doesn't reward hard work and commitment.
