Pros

Pay is near the top of what a new grad can expect. Benefits are better than most employers in Ann Arbor. Rarely expected to work over 40 hours a week.

Cons

No job security. 10+ percent of the company laid off just in 2019. Almost all were people with only a few years in. People relocated to A2 for SoarTech and then were laid off a year later. Severance packages are laughable. Boring work. The company touts all the cool research being done when you interview but then you get tossed into a team building some CRUD application that has nothing to do with robots or AI. You have to play politics to get on the interesting projects. Toxic company politics. Management is constantly lying, manipulating and gaslighting their staff.
