I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zoox (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Initial contact via email, then a thirty minute video meeting, followed by meetings with other members of the Talent Acquisition team. Follow up/rejection via email. Interviewer seemed bored by the meeting and was not interested in discussing the company or the products.

Question 1
Why Zoox? Do you prefer recruiting technical or non-technical candidates?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zoox
Interview
I applied to a role and then was pivoted to another by the recruiting team. I interviewed with a few different people and was then ghosted. No follow up, no care for candidate experience. As someone in recruiting myself, I was relieved to see this early and not continue in process.
Follow up is really important - whether that follow up is a yes, no, or no update yet.
The team is very involved and offers a great candidate experience. They are really knowledgeable about the company and offer great compensation packages. Overall, I think offering both remote and in person interviews was a nice touch to my interview experience.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zoox (Foster City, CA)
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter to have a 30 mins phone screen. Most of the questions were standard more of an intro. The recruiter said that will provide an update but never heard back. Suggestion: if you waste someone’s 30 mins make sure to send that rejection template as an update instead of ghosting candidates.
