Pros

Absolutely nothing! Horrible company and horrible management. Zoox will never be profitable. You are wasting your time.

Cons

Horrible company to work for. Executive management is a joke. They have no idea what is going on. They do not empower middle managers. There is no clear roadmap. Too many meetings where people talk about the same issues over and over and over with no solutions. Too many program managers doing the same thing and working over each other. Quality department, including supplier quality is a joke. No culture of quality. Very toxic. No communication. No transparency. Lessons not learned. Doing the same things over and over and not learning from past mistakes. Zoox attects people because they promote all the perks - kitchen with chef and free breakfast, lunch, dinner, free snacks and drinks (as much as you want) - managemrnt wants to keep you onsite and working but unless you are working in manufacturing, people are sitting in the lounge and cafe areas all day socializing and not doing any work.

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.
