      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Zoox (Foster City, CA) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      There were overall 3 total rounds. First round was an interview with the hiring manager which lasted around 45 mins. Next was a half day onsite interview with 6 interviews + a 45 minute technical presentation. After I got positive feedback for my on site round, I had a 30 min chat with the VP of the org. Overall everybody i talked to was extremely professional and pleasant to talk to. I never felt I was being grilled, it felt like a 2 way conversation. The questions asked to me were very interesting and the interviews were interactive. I like the hiring manager, the team and the work. The pay being offered was also quite good in comparison to other startups. I turned down the offer since I ended up receiving a better offer, although it was a tough decision.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If you were given unlimited resources and no restrictions, what technical challenge would you like to solve?
