Pros

There are some really great employees at this company.

Cons

Leadership Cannot Run This Company - the CEO and COO have no idea what they're doing. They don't set budgets, saying there is no need. Then complain and blame others when too much cash is being burned through. They don't talk to each other, and contradicts the other while not backing up the teams under them. This wastes tons of valuable time and money, which sadly comes back on the manager/employee. Lies to Get You In - they promise wellness meal stipends, work-from-home days and pay raises. But they never deliver, and are never apologetic about it when asked about these promises. Nor are they clear on why they are not delivering. Complaints are Often Ignored - the complaints of employees regarding bullying and leadership treatment are often ignored. Sometimes there is even retaliation. Leadership Bullies Employees in Open Forums - the CEO and COO will often bully, ridicule and belittle managers in open forum communication channels. Nothing is ever done about this.

Thanks for taking the time to share this! We're glad your first year at Bear has been a good one and that the work and the technology behind it have stood out. Building robots is fun, but it's even better when the people building them enjoy showing up each day. We'll take "no detractors" as a win, but we're not hibernating just yet. We'll keep looking for ways to make Bear an even better place to grow, build, and do meaningful work.

Pros

The people are the strongest part of the company. In most cases the employees are hardworking, collaborative, intelligent, and genuinely willing to help one another succeed. Teams generally work to come together to overcome challenges and adapt to changing priorities. The flagship product delivers value to many customers and has strong market potential, although the product portfolio is limited compared to their competitors. Employees have opportunities to take on meaningful responsibilities, gain exposure to a growing robotics industry, and work alongside talented colleagues who are passionate about innovation.

Cons

Leadership lacks accountability and often prioritizes optics over addressing root causes. Employees are encouraged to be transparent, but candid feedback can feel unwelcome when it challenges leadership narratives. Frequent strategy changes, internal politics, and limited support for managers and others below in the hierarchy create unnecessary obstacles to execution. Compensation is generally below market, turnover is high, and career growth can feel influenced more by visibility and relationships than measurable results. Despite having talented employees and a good flagship product, cultural and organizational challenges continue to hinder the company’s potential.
