      Good technology but they do not care about employees.

      Pros

      Many good people , interesting technology, free pizza on Fridays.

      Cons

      No collaboration between groups. Support team and engineering teams are siloed by ignorance and poor management. Employees are nothing but a number when it comes down to it. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much of a positive impact you have made. When it comes to the bottom line they will get rid of you .

      Pros

      Interesting technology. Pretty good pay and benefits. Some work from home

      Cons

      This place is pretty screwed up. they go on a hiring binge for over a year. Then someone panics and decides we need to layoff 150 people. they don't know how to use staffing/forecasting tools. Project priorities change every week. Resources (people) are jerked around to which ever customer is complaining this week. Just a guess, but my business sense is telling me they are getting ready to sell the company. Think along the lines of Amazon bought Kiva for their robotics. Now think of the next biggest retailer and why they would want Symbotic robotics. Those project s were the only ones getting resources and anyone not working on those projects got the ax. The company spread itself way too thinly and started too many projects with the resources to support them. Don't work here!!

      Thank you for the feedback. Like all startups, we are trying to learn and improve as we go. At the start of 2018, the focus of the company shifted from scaling to delivering for our current customers. That shift has required a realignment and rethink to take us to the next stage as a successful startup.

      Pros

      Good pay, employment activities such as ice cream. Great technology, at least on paper.

      Cons

      Crazy management. They do not understand that the product is incomplete and has not proven itself to run at full capacity. Symbotic has not setup a repeatable system yet so all of our customers running different systems and mostly unhappy. None of the customers signed off on delivering system and that is a big problem.
