Zoox reviews

- Lots of work to do and there are clear areas that are under invested in compared to competitors - Behind in funding and resources compared to competitors. You get more autonomy, but there's also less support & structure compared to the other giants - The goal is ambitious, and while there's a path forward, you can easily feel overwhelmed and under confident in the promised result when you see the problems all day - Pay/perks aren't as good as FAANG - Management can feel overly optimistic sometimes -- while having a confident leader is good, glossing over the reality of the project isn't

No life/work balance. Favoritism with instructors/leads. Management letting things “slide” for those they favored although they’re doing the same thing others were/are getting fired for. “Safety” is priority then half the staff needs to be terminated. The environment is toxic & everyone is running around trying or wanting to “one-up” the other or be the next best thing and it was exhausting to be around as a full time employee or should I say “contractor”. A company that preaches about moral & ethics yet consistently contradicts itself. If you miss middle/high school and love drama/pettiness you may enjoy working here. After the former senior director was let go and this new guy arrived, things seemed to be going downhill as far as culture. Glad I received the experience, but WILL NOT miss it.
