    a lot of my friends at Waymo aren’t incredibly happy. Maybe consider yourself lucky. Sometimes everything looks better on the outside.

      Does Google employee referral works at Waymo? I have been referred by 3 different friends who work at Google in last 6 months but through those referrals I can never apply for Waymo jobs. I dint know anyone at Waymo

    I have seen with Waymo that even if job description matches with the work you have done, I have never been able to secure an interview. I have got calls from most of the other self driving companies except Waymo. Probably requires a good referral.

    If Waymo clicks, Google will look like such a small business in comparison. Not sure why they are low balling.. probably all the Google engineers might be doing an internal transfer.

      GM (outside of cruise) and Waymo are targeting completely different industries. One manufactures cars to sell to customers. The other intends to operate a point-to-point transportation service that happens to use autonomous vehicles.

      Not sure why you'd compare them when your own company is the more apt comparison.

      Upbvy, just saying it has capability to pull even more as transportation is a multi trillion $ industry

    I was approached by Waymo and did phone interview with recruiter and hiring manager.
    After that the recruiter called me and asked my salary expectation and lowballed severely, so I stopped pursuing further

  • Yes, Waymo base is below market for some reason
