Pros

Great food and incredibly smart coworkers. A lot of great in-house talent.

Cons

Zoox has an amazing product that leadership doesn’t know what to do with. The people who developed the product and major players in the company’s development have started to leave in droves. Part of the problem are the systems in place; a lot of micromanagement. For example, the CTO often chastises his employees for things as minor as their grammar and a lot of systems in place aren’t repeatable as the company scales. Management is a dud.

Pros

Best things in sequence - Food (breakfast, lunch, dinner), Very nice office environment, not high-pressure performance stress. I am very optimistic about their future.

Cons

Pay is on the lower side; most engineers are imported from Michigan - but still they say we are in Bay Area for the Talent lol. They don't always hire the best of the bunch - Interview is easy overall. Hiring friends/friends of friends might be a thing, who knows. Employee retention is an issue.
