Pros

Great product from a technology perspective. Good solid people work there.

Cons

Executive Leadership is completely a mess- they can't keep anyone in a leadership role. Don't think they know what leadership is supposed to look like and they keep going back to tactical stuff. Can't grow a business this way.

Pros

Cool technology, great business forecast thanks to their partnership with Walmart

Cons

CEO runs the company based on emotional responses, with a low tolerance for frustration and disregard for data. Company culture based on fear, micromanagement, brute force approach to problems

The executives are simply not very good

Pros

The technology is pretty interesting, it's not easy to get such a large system to work. It's an impressive accomplishment

Cons

Working for Symbotic is a "bad deal". Raise compensation to meet the workload/expectations or lower the workload per employee. The company is entirely too comfortable asking people to be on support at all hours. Understand that you can't just scale up an organization on a dime, hiring takes time, attrition is very expensive. Don't mislead employees.
