I received a Zoox offer today. L2 offer Base:148k Zars:29k/6 year Amazon rsu: 46k over 3 years Joining bonus: 37k I am contemplating the decision with Zoox since Amazon is cutting so much stuff down. I was with Argo and after they closed things went pretty bad for me mentally and physically. I do not want to be in the same situation. Anyone from Zoox has any insight into Whats next. #zoox #amazon
Zars?
It is not unlikely that Zoox will be next the next Argo
Could try negotiating base up a tiny bit. If you’re going to pick the AV space, Zoox is likely the most shielded to current market pressures. I believe we are the only large AV company with no outside investors. What better company than Amazon for a long term multi year loss for a larger slice of the pie. Also our operating costs are a fraction of what cruise/waymo are spending.
What makes the operating costs less? I was under the impression that they would be high since Zoox is building the vehicle ground up.
Fewer employees, smaller fleet size, targeting exclusively robotaxi (vs trucking or L3 purchasable cars) to name a few. In general we were bought in a firesale which was bad for pre-acquisition employees and great for post acquisition employees / company longevity. Being fully owned we do not require outside investor money and we do not face shorter term scaling pressures by raising more money. We didn’t hire more because of large amounts of available investor cash and low interest rates the last several years. We have agreed upon timelines for hiring progress that remain unchanged. We will and need to continue expanding rapidly next year and grow the company by 20%+ and many software teams by 50%+
Talk about completely missing the point of an article
This article does not suggest she is blind-sighted. Hard to understand where you get that from. Aicha is a Great leader and CEO.
What role is this for?
OP did you take up the Zoox offer?

Thank you Amazon. Do you work in Zoox ?
If you join get a joining bonus and increase your base to atleast 160k. They give joining bonus of up to $120k over 2 years.
I tried negotiating but they said that is max they can do for l2. I am more worried about stability
It’s probably because there are so many people in the market right now
