      Pros

      I was wooed in and promised the world. After 9 months of giving zoox every benefit of the doubt, I’m not wowed. Pluses include crazy pay raises compared to pre-Amazon purchase, so I hear from my colleagues.

      Cons

      I’d summarize my experience as “rest and vest”. The team is not working to a clear product or timeline and any focus to actually make a difference seem to just be for show.

      Going downhill…

      Pros

      Great food and incredibly smart coworkers. A lot of great in-house talent.

      Cons

      Zoox has an amazing product that leadership doesn’t know what to do with. The people who developed the product and major players in the company’s development have started to leave in droves. Part of the problem are the systems in place; a lot of micromanagement. For example, the CTO often chastises his employees for things as minor as their grammar and a lot of systems in place aren’t repeatable as the company scales. Management is a dud.

      Good culture and WLB

      Pros

      * Great culture and WLB! I feel that I'm treated very well here. They do a good job of trying to move fairly quickly without putting too much pressure and stress on us (may depend on the specific team you're on). * Great pay, pretty good benefits. * Good people. I like my manager and all of my coworkers. And I have a good impression of Aicha and Jesse, although I haven't really interacted with them yet. * Pretty good tech stack. Appropriately high standards for the code and development processes, given the industry we're in. * Safety is taken extremely seriously, which is critical for this industry. * Interesting work.

      Cons

      * Some growing pains. They are trying to hire a lot of people and having decent success, but some positions are vacant for a while. * A lot of the people that laid the foundations early on have left; sometimes there are knowledge gaps due to this. * Some tools we use internally have frequent issues that can be frustrating and make it harder for me to be productive. * I dislike our 401k provider. Also, there's no 401k matching. * I hear complaints that top positions are too often filled by hiring new people rather than promoting from within. But I don't have firsthand experience of this since I've only been here about 1 year.
