Pros
- Interesting work - Creative, dedicated coworkers - Hands-on experience - Although software folks say the pay is below average, it is above average for mechanical engineering
Cons
- Management doesn't listen to employees - Updated sick time policy encourages coming to the office sick, and discriminates against caregivers and those with medical conditions - Ethics Committee was a group with no real power who met 1 hour per quarter. Clearly just a performative effort to get employees to stop expressing concerns about robot use by law enforcement. - Of the 45 people laid off in December, I know the identities of 9 of them, and only one of those is a white man. Although individual employees have done great things forming DEI affinity groups, management decisions and promotions are not diverse or inclusive. - The "burden of proof" required to get management to support your idea is clearly different for different categories of employee.
