Might be going downhill faster than expected

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Business Outlook

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.
