Pros

Engineering teams are amazing, knowledgable people, wonderful peer connections, great pay and benefits, great vision and mission

Cons

I was originally attracted to the vision, mission and amazing people in Torc. A new CTO came to the company in 2023 to transform us from an engineering company to a product company with the idea that a 50% turnover rate was acceptable. The new value has been to create an environment where no training or communication is provided and is replaced with an Opt Out program. Employees are leaving (ie. pushed out) in max exodus, rather than being trained, trusted, and respected for their knowledge and experience. He has destroyed a once great culture where teams were valued. The phenomenal leadership that made Torc great has either been evicted or abandoned ship before it sinks, this continues to roll down hill. Like many others have said, ELT is disconnected, uninformed, and ego driven. The care for the teams that do all the work is gone, there is zero trust or communication, and the talent on all levels below leadership is being forced out in place of sycophants. Sad.

Pros

Working at Torc has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. The technology we're building is genuinely world-changing — autonomous trucking has the potential to transform how goods move across the country, and being part of that mission makes the work feel meaningful every single day. The pace is fast, which keeps things engaging. There's always something new to tackle, and the environment pushes you to grow quickly. If you thrive on momentum and like seeing your contributions matter, you'll feel right at home here. One thing that stands out is the flexibility around work hours. It's clear that leadership trusts employees to get the job done without micromanaging when or how you do it. That kind of autonomy makes a real difference for work-life balance.

Cons

The fast pace isn't for everyone — be ready to hit the ground running
