Pros

Exciting opportunity to be on the forefront of software technology in vehicles. Unique role that allows for both visual design and software development.

Cons

A linear assembly-line approach to developing software product. Unrealistic goals with unreasonable deadlines leave you feeling unproductive and constantly pressured. Long timelines (years) to see your work in production if ever. Uncompetitive pay compared to those in the tech sector.
