Pros

The company has some solid tech. The computer vision stack is pretty good.

Cons

It's a stifling culture. I dread to come into work every day. Plus the work isn't that exciting anyway.

Pros

I feel like an entrepreneur but without the risk of actually being one. Cognex is giving me to opportunity to work hard and rewards very well when being succesful.

Cons

It's not a 9 to 5 job. You need to have the "whatever it takes" mentality. If not, don't even bother to apply.
