Pros

Great talent hired, pretty decent pay, a brilliant concept (RPA). Sadly, once people the realize where they got in, after 12 months when 25% of the stocks are vested people leave.

Cons

False promises, incompetent executives, despotism, nepotism. The broken toy of silicon valley. Time for a new CEO and other executives to run the show.

Potential growth within the new RPA space.

Chaotic, reactive, lacking of process, leadership priorities are scattered, constant urgency, some leadership needs mgmt and coaching skills.

Thank you for the review. To provide some context for readers, this review is referring to the difficulty we have with balancing the demands of work vs. the rest of what we all need to do as humans with other responsibilities outside of work. We won't beat around the bush: "work-life balance" is our lowest-scoring theme here on Glassdoor and most critical reviews on Glassdoor mention this issue. The criticism is noted, warranted, and we thank you for it. The team is aware of these issues and working on multiple initiatives (some of which have launched) to address the pain points you and others have raised.

Pros

One of the top players in the RPA space though certainly not the top as the leadership will have you believe. Will provide you with tangible real world examples of how not to run and manage a company. As the saying goes you learn more from mistakes than successes and no where is that more true than AAI. Pre IPO shares since UiPath already went IPO though don't hold your breath on the company going IPO anytime soon so don't expect a quick cash out. 1st cloud native product, although still feels like an early build beta product that is unstable and constant bugs, but you get to say you work with the first cloud native platform so there is value in that right?

Cons

Extreme nepotism: just to give an example the ceo, the SVP branding, and COO are related. Qualified for the roles they are in, that's highly questionable. Case in point, the COO was the CRO but after years of being stagnant instead of moving him out of the c level role they just moved him to COO and brought in a new CRO, who is actually competent so that's a plus. The COO is still equally incompetent and no one precisely tell your what his exact role is other than being related to the CEO. Beta Cloud Product: product was released before it was QAd by testing to tout the bragging rights of being first cloud native platform to market. For example, a client purchased the platform only to find out it did not have copy bot functionality. Yes copy and paste bot feature was missing on gold release. That's been rectified but the product continues to have stability issues and it's jumping from one pissed off client to another and assuming them a patch is coming. When is the patch coming. When our understaffed engineering team gets around to it. Lack of advancement opportunities: been here for about 3 years have yet to have a career goals and progression discussion with mgmt despite voicing my career ambition and goals no one will invest your career and goals unless it's benefits them to do so. Selfish culture: every man for himself, no collaboration and constant tactics to push the work over to the next guy and avoid taking responsibility at all costs. Hmm, only if we had someone we with actual culture and branding leader to steer the ship. Oh well, guess we'll have to just stay with the CEOs wife with zero background in building and implement a cohesive and collaborative culture.
