Pros

Being a paycheck, but not even a good one at that. Dispelled any of my fears that robots will be taking over (or at least any of them with the label bear robotics)

Cons

Zero to no team work unless it's forced. Clique-ish They ask for input but ignore the most pertinent responses. Bad attitudes from top down. A "take the money and run" mentality from the leadership, they do not care about the employees here. You are just a pawn in the game. Bad product creates bad image with clients and you get to be stuck in the middle juggling more jobs than the one you're already underpaid to do. Defeatist attitudes. Negativity all around. The negative reviews are 100% accurate about this horrible place to work. Avoid it like the bad lemon it is! Their are much much better options available.

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.
