      Pros

      Work hard, play hard is the mantra. The core values of the company include outstanding benefits and competitive salaries.

      Cons

      No huge opportunities for advancement. HR seems disconnected and aloof when dealing with employee relations

      Pros

      I have been with Cognex for three years and currently lead a small team. It amazes me the strength of its culture and how it supports its employees. Unlike my previous company, Cognex wants its employees to stay for the long term. It's "Work Hard, Play Hard, Most Fast" culture is a big reason employees stay. It invest in areas that have previously been challenged like the HR organization, and I can see the difference in terms of support to employees and managers. It invest in the engineering organization and continues to hire top talent. I get to work on cool projects and feel challenged by my work with my team.

      Cons

      Not really a downside, but Cognex needs to invest more in employee development and career development. I want to be clear about my engineering path forward and how I can continue to build my skills and experiences.

      Pros

      Great culture! Decent, hardworking, down to earth employees.

      Cons

      Nothing out of the ordinary. Company still has to figure out how to scale for growth.
