Pros

Zoox cafe at both locations are amazing. Snacks and beverages were well stocked. Views from the Bay View offices.

Cons

C-Suite leadership team is misaligned. Leadership for my department lacked direction and liked to play favorites, though not from one's lack of trying. Eventually got burnt-out.

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.
