Pros

Nice people - my coworkers are the best part of my day The rest well nothing good to say. Management is demeaning and offensive

Cons

If you don't have anxiety and paranoia you will have it when you leave - positive reviews are HR initiated

Pros

Decent pay with challenging problems to solve. Flexible work hours if needed. Fascinating technology in a really rapidly growing industry.

Cons

Unrealistic deadlines. Constant focus on the here and now without plans for how to attain future goals. Symbotic has an excellent sales team but they do not have the functioning product to back it up. The pitch is great; however, the reality is multiple versions of the same product per customer being maintained in parallel with no apparent future where there is only one. This forecasts a bleak future for employees as more customers are introduced.

Pros

No idea since we never got a chance to work here

Cons

After Symbotic acquired WASR, there was negative communication, no indication that they even wanted us on their payroll or anything. After a 90 day grace period of them figuring out what to do with us, they picked 50 random people to keep onboard an simply fired everyone else. People have been at this company for almost 10 years and hold so much knowledge about the system they are expected to maintain, yet they got rid of them all.
