Pros

- Rare opportunity to work on a contrarian and moon-shot approach to self-driving cars. - Great culture (I cannot emphasise this enough)! There exists a strong, supportive and inclusive familial bond at Wayve that makes working here a sheer joy. Rather than succumbing to the pressure, everyone rises to the challenge, works together as a single cohesive unit and keeps pressing on. - Everyone in the team dreams big, is passionate, hungry to grow and very approachable. - Founders are humble, very receptive to advice and open to being challenged - You are given immense creative freedom and autonomy to innovate and do what you think is right for the company - Wayve also actively invests in and promotes mental health & wellbeing through yoga, healthy lunches and processed sugar free snacks. Fun fact: our chef hasn't repeated a meal since the past 6 months that I have been here.

Cons

As is the case with every company, we have our own set of problems. These being uncertainty and rapid change. However, these are the necessary evils when working on such grand ideas. Also, although very picturesque, I find Cambridge a bit boring and hence I commute to and from London as the office is very close to the train station.
