Pros

Good office location and building Food is decent

Cons

While Zoox may initially attract you with promises of innovation and growth, the reality is far less glamorous. The company suffers from a severe lack of direction, with constantly shifting milestones and a relentless cycle of experimentation with new development processes that no one seems to grasp fully. This lack of focus and clear strategy results in a chaotic work environment where employees are constantly scrambling to meet ever-changing demands. The company's meeting-heavy culture further exacerbates the issue, leading to grueling 60-70 hour workweeks. If you value a structured work environment with clear goals and a healthy work-life balance, Zoox is not the place for you. While the company may offer some learning opportunities, the constant chaos and excessive workload can quickly lead to burnout.

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.
