      Pros

      There are great people here and the technology they are using is somewhat interesting. The benefits they offer are decent.

      Cons

      The company is hierarchically run, in a top down manner. There is not a lot of room for career advancement or autonomy. Not much cross collaboration or very well organized.

      Failed company

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      When I joined the company, the CEO John Lert defined a solid productive inspiring environment. He brewed coffee for everybody, was very detail-oriented and highly technical. This was due to him and other execs at that time, that CasePick was successful early on. However, times changed in 2009 when the company was acquired by C&S and replaced the CEO.

      Cons

      When C&S acquired CasePick, things turned for worse. Both C&S team and the new CEO has brought opaque dysfunctional system with politics. All talented people left in 2010-2011. C&S tried to spin off the company and renamed it to SymBotic and hired Jim Baum as CEO who currently doesn't even list SymBotic on Linkedin. Very sad story.

      Thank you for being with our company when we were a true start-up and working by the side of our founder. We are proud to say that our CEO shows his Symbotic support on LinkedIn and we have grown the company to over 150 talented professionals and will continue to grow with adding more talented professionals. Please contact our HR team to let us know how we can continue to bring in more talent at info@symbotic.com.

      Pros

      1. Medical benefits were decent 2. Product design is revolutionary

      Cons

      1. Hiring teams of people from other C&S subsidiaries to replace current employees. 2. No corporate transparency or communication. 3. As others have said, there is no clear leadership. 4. Lack of understandable salary and bonus structure. 5. Nepotism runs wild, leaders who have zero previous experience in management roles. 6. Passing blame between hardware and software departments is out of control. 7. Meetings, upon meetings, upon meetings, upon meetings, about nothing. 8. Unrealistic milestones and goals.
