Got a message from a waymo recruiter for HW position.
Is it worth pursuing?
I heard waymo is no google in terms of pay and refreshers.

    Waymo is as good as Google in terms of pay and refreshers but of course there is higher risk and higher upside in pre-IPO equity. (This is for software.)

    Tired of seeing this rumor on Blind. More than half of my teammates transferred from Google and we are happy with our comp.

    I’m in software but I’d imagine hardware is great too! I’ve heard Apple has a rough culture, for that reason alone definitely worth moving

    Pardon me for being ignorant, but isn't Waymo a private company? So doesn't that mean they don't give actual RSU stock, they just give options that won't have any value unless company goes public (or gets bought)?

      The distinction between an RSU and a derivative security (like an option) is completely orthogonal to whether the security is traded on an open exchange. You can buy Apple options on Robinhood and some private companies compensate in RSU's.

      What Google is trying to say is that RSUs can be granted by a privately held company like Waymo as well. What it's worth is another story.

  • What responsibility/role? Systems? Or silicon/IC level?
