Cruise employee here. I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. In my experience, Cruise is one of the most exciting companies to be working for today, and Kyle is easily the most intelligent, hard working, and reasonable CEO I have worked for.

For sure, there is still a lot of work to be done before we can launch a full L4/L5 vehicle, but I would say with high confidence our platform is ahead of most other players in the industry, and I'm confident that we will be one of the first companies to launch AVs at scale.

FWIW, Glassdoor seems to agree with me: https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Cruise-EI_IE97...

This sounds a bit like damage control to me, but

Couldn't you be in a different management hierarchy to this purported employee?

Not damage control, just providing an alternate opinion.

Yes, it's entirely possible that the commenter is (or was) an employee in a department other than engineering. We all report to CEO eventually though, so I don't think that would result in a significantly different experience.

OP made accurate statements and expressed a sentiment that's typical at Cruise. Your "alternate opinion" is not widely shared.
