Pros

I've been really encouraged at how nice everyone is. Everyone I've interacted with over the years has been very collaborative and helpful. I can definitely say that Waymo fosters a culture of curiosity and learning. I've gotten the chance to grow with the company and believe there is still a lot of growth to be had. I think promotions are easier at Waymo vs other tech companies that are large and established.

Cons

Headcount isn't abundant so it can be hard to get the opportunity to convert from a contractor to a full time employee (there isn't always a spot even if you're doing well). Similarly, it's not always easy to get headcount to hire for your team. Waymo is very selective on who they bring on. High demand and low supply of spots. If you are looking for a company that is loud and proud about being #1, Waymo isn't a great place. Waymo is muted in terms of boasting about progress
