Beware!

Pros

A unique technology. I really love it!

Cons

Do not ever try to do your best for the company! Nobody's gonna appreciate it. They absolutely do not care about new interesting ideas of their employees. All you can do is only what you're supposed to. Don't try to do more, nobody needs it. They don't care about personnel at all! After four years i spent in this company, after everything i had done for them (believe me i had done A LOT), they just kicked me out. Without warning. They did not even let me take my personal files from the laptop. It can happen to each of you. So, think twice before applying to Symbotic.

Pros

Fun technology, some cool challenges and many good people to work with.

Cons

Recent removal of old CEO leaves many of his cronies scrambling to cover their butts. History of decisions being made by people not qualified to assess correct technical path or unable to deliver a "no" to peers/CEO.

If you feel comfortable, please share your suggestions with you manager or group leader, if you haven’t already. As you know, we are in a period of transition and we need to hear from everyone at Symbotic on how we grow and improve to meet and exceed our customer commitments.

Huge disappointment!!!

Pros

Interesting technology in a growing space. Smart, hardworking people (for the most part). Tons of potential if they can get out of their own way.

Cons

Management team that cannot communicate effectively with the employees. Bad performers are ignored until a replacement can be found and then they walk them out as the new person starts, even at the Exec team level. Performance management is a joke and managers are either afraid or incapable of providing feedback that will help people improve!!! Location and physical space is in a word "depressing". False promises for employee recognition. Billionaire behind the funding is like a puppet master with wildly shifting priorities. Growing employee turnover including the recruiting and HR teams - they are usually the first rats jumping off of the sinking ship.
