Pros

- Opportunity to work on robots that run in production and solve real customer problems - Hands-on, customer focused culture - Company is stacked with great robotics engineering talent - Although leadership and management has been poor, it's moving in a positive direction. We've added some quality senior leadership in the past year.

Cons

As has been mentioned in other reviews, leadership and management has been poor. Toxic situations and people were left unaddressed. People have gotten burned out. Technical leadership roles were being filled by people who didn't know what they were doing, but had been around for a while or had a relationship with the founders. That said, fortunately it seems the company's leadership realized some time last year that this was a major problem and have been bringing in more capable senior leadership, who have been helping to fix it. Since then, things have slowly been moving in a positive direction.

Pros

- If you showcase talent, you will move up the company. No time-gated promotions like other companies. - Get to work on really interesting, disruptive technology. - You get to wear many hats and work on side projects that interest you. - Great meal service.

Cons

- Fully onsite positions, but there is a lack of facilities on-site. Long term a gym, more meeting rooms, better eating facilities would be better.

Pros

- Lots of opportunities for problem solving. - Great robotics platform to learn and develop (if you can get into the right work group). - Pay is decent for the industry. - Benefits are very generous.

Cons

- The environment is stressful (understandable for a startup) but hard work doesn’t feel rewarding or appreciated. Be ready to work a lot and not be recognized for it. - The team seems very reactive to problems instead of anticipating/scheduling for them, making the workload more stressful than necessary. - Teams are heavily segregated from each other making, communication of tasks and priorities difficult. - As a technician, I was rarely asked for help by the engineering staff for mechanical problem solving or design input (I have extensive experience in both). - Company culture is nonexistent. Company social events are few and far between, often feeling thrown together without much thought. Any suggestions for improving culture are snubbed or deprioritized. - Career growth plans are not taken seriously. Yearly reviews for compensation adjustments are promised by management but are not executed. - The CEO has great energy and optimism but lacks true leadership skills and is not inspiring. Those in top leadership positions who reasonably challenge the CEO are usually fired and replaced with more “agreeable” people.
