Pros
- Happen to love my team, but many don't - Pay is a little better than other companies for Technical Program Management. This might have been because I negotiated very well when joining and was paid the highest end of my level's range. - Interesting product and problem space - Riding in the vehicles and experiencing the milestones gives a lot of satisfaction and makes the work feel worth it - pretty professional environment - not too many HR issues other than the toxic culture of working people hard - Just too much work all the time. Prepare to be at least a little burnt out almost always if you work here. - Stressful
Cons
- Complex problem space and 1 million acronyms - you will spend the first 2 years at least a little confused at all times - ramp up time to start working is not bad, but ramp up time to feel comfortable working is very long - TOXIC culture: not toxic all the time and depends on team / coworkers but there is an underlying toxicity embedded within Zoox's culture. The culture is pretentious, some C levels have bad attitudes which trickles all the way down to ICs (Program Management for example), and there's a lot of finger pointing at every level. - Not very fun to work here but people are friendly - Compensation for promotions isn't great. Really don't feel like you're getting your worth as you stay here and work hard.

Exciting work with good people to collaborate with on the working level
Cons
Tight deadlines. Every place has its share of politics, and this place is no exception.
