Zoox has a mission-aligned team. The technical challenges are real. Work-life balance is reasonable. Benefits are good.
Amazon's buy-out immediately damaged the culture.
Company progress has all but stalled because of huge technical challenges.
The best engineers and leaders have already left.
Very young engineers. Most of them are energetic but somewhat naive about hardware development. I would say about one-third of the people interviewed know what they are talking about.
The interviewers were really nice and genuinely excited about engineering and their work. However, the interview process was really long. I had several interviews as well as a design problem.
Typical process: coding, systems design, behavioral. But they did have a cool, intuitive math-only portion, which was enjoyable. All the engineers I spoke with were nice. The last portion was a 30-minute interview with a director, and it was very dum
