Always something exciting happening

Pros

There is always exiting stuffs happening at Vicarious. Our goal to achieve general level AI embodied in robots takes us through many challenging and fascinating projects. The work environment is like nothing I have seen before. There is no comparison to other places I have been to regarding how much we feel appreciated. Almost none of the academics cons, most of the pros. We don't spend much time repeating the same stuffs to get enough data for papers. Yet, we still get to do research and go to conferences.

Cons

The robotics group is somewhat still immature. But is growing fast and is on good tracks. Quite a commute from SF and Berkeley/Oakland.

AI is a hard problem.
