Pros & Cons
Airtable
- 91% of engineers recommend — dedicated culture ambassadors plan events and build community
- Strong work-life balance (4.0/5) with good benefits and hybrid flexibility
- Post-layoff culture has been impacted — some report declining morale since 2023 restructuring
- Communication from leadership could improve — management quality varies by team
Wayve
- Great culture — smart, friendly people with a supportive and inclusive familial bond
- Immense creative freedom and autonomy; founders are humble and open to being challenged
- Career progression framework is unclear — salaries and promotions feel arbitrary
- Very ambitious demands create vulnerability to burnout; processes built on the fly
Bottom Line
Airtable
Choose Airtable if you want strong engineering culture, real product impact at scale, and good WLB — but expect some post-restructuring growing pains and leadership uncertainty.
Wayve
One of Europe's top deep-tech companies with excellent Glassdoor ratings (4.4) and a cutting-edge AV research environment — but expect an intense pace and most roles are London-based.
