Zoox Work Experiences

Transparency in upper management has reduced
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Foster City, California, United States
April 20, 2020
Pros: Responsibilities, fast-paced work, opportunities to make an impact, and smart people to work with.
Cons: Chaotic, no transparency, few benefits, as it is pre-revenue.
5.0
Pretty decent place, friendly
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Foster City, California, United States
February 8, 2021
Pros: Senior and middle management are technically inclined. Most people have been here for quite a few years, so they've been here for the majority of the lifetime of the company, leading to a friendly and collaborative atmosphere.
Cons: Benefits are honestly really bad. Things like 401k, medical, dental, insurance, and subsidies for the gym are lacking. The pay is slightly below FAANG standards. Hiring is intense now; hopefully, it doesn't dilute the culture.
4.0
