Hi Blinders, I am in the pre-offer stages with both Nuro and Zoox and want to get a sense for how life would be like if I were to join either. Zoox will likely offer me L4, and Nuro L5. So comp will without doubt be in Nuro’s favor. But I like Zoox’s role more. Please rate both companies on the following metrics. 1 - lowest, 10 - highest Compensation Promo likelihood WLB Likelihood of building a successful business Likelihood of laying off (again) Here is how I would rate them today Compensation (Nuro): 7 Compensation (Zoox): 5 Promo (Nuro): 8 Promo (Zoox): 4 WLB (Nuro): 5 WLB (Zoox): 9 Likelihood of success(Nuro): 3 Likelihood of success (Zoox): 5 Likelihood of layoffs (Nuro): 8 Likelihood of layoffs (Zoox): 4 #nuro #zoox
I was in your situation some yrs back. Don’t regret even a little bit making the choice
Mid telling me which team you work for?
Software AI team
Self driving is going down ... Waymo and Zoox will be the last players left until they shut up shop too. Don't even bother joining another company at this point if you want to stay in self driving
You don’t start vesting ZARs until year two completion and they vest over six years. Just something to consider since most I’ve seen start at one year and vest over three or four. I think that the potential for greater stock growth is better at Nuro IF they survive since they can still IPO. Big IF though.
Why Nuro has worse WLB and higher chances in layoffs?
Which office you need to go to for nuro?
never been to Zoox, but I totally agree with your rating on Nuro.
ZARS are liquid you can sell back to Amazon every quarter after your vest. You don’t need to pay anything to exercise either so all liquid
Can I DM you? I have an interview coming up with zoox
Congratulations. Can you please DM me. I have on-site interview at Zoox.
Not sure 8 in likelihood of layoffs means good or bad? BTW all your zoox money is liquid
Even the ZARs? How often does Zoox offer liquidation opportunities?
8 in likelihood is bad. Very high probability of layoffs is my perception
