Business Outlook

Pros

The people are incredible. Smart, thoughtful, and love to talk shop.

Cons

Churn is high about 25%. Even worse after the reduction in force of 2024 leading to many people inheriting multiple roles and longer days for no extra pay, not to mention none of those people have been recognized- their performance only normalized as upper management aims to hire more young blood.

Leadership doesn't meet brand value

Sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Boston Dynamics invented its segment and has been a leader in its space. Work-life balance is good as the company has "summer Fridays" with 4 day weeks in July and August. If you are not a remote employee, the perks are OK.

Cons

Leadership from CEO to mid-levels is amateurish, lacking in the "professional manager" quality. This is due to the Boston location pulling from a talent pool that has "New England village mentality." With Boston Dynamics's lead in the market shrinking, scarcity mindset has taken over the company, leading to middle managers who protect their fiefdoms rather than pull for the good of the company.
