Pros & Cons
incident.io
- Strong culture with a dedicated culture manager — values are practiced, not just stated
- Excellent compensation and benefits with strong career growth opportunities
- Rapid scaling can create instability — some report organizational growing pains
- London-centric with limited remote options for some roles
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
incident.io
Exceptional culture (4.5 stars) with genuine values, great benefits including 10% pension match, and kind colleagues — but London-centric with some layoff scars from 2024.
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.
