Pros

Very ambitious goal for the robotics future. Lot of great talent in robotics to work with. But they ended up firing most of them .

Cons

Leadership has a god complex. They treat employees like some peasants. Especially the employees from the Vicarious acquisition were treated very bad with very low pay. They acquired Vicarious after laying off almost 40% of the staff. Then they laid off more later. And then they laid off the Vicarious CEO too. Basically just ending vicarious . Many of talented perception and robotics folks were let go. CEO is one of most condescending people I have ever met in life. She has no clue about the robotics industry and she has no respect for any of the talent.

Pros

- Great mission; impact-driven work - Exec team is strong and adaptable - I love that the Exec team solves things from first principles. They get things right most of the time and in the instances where they don't, they're quick to tack - Comp and benefits is comparable to Google / FAANG but at a much smaller scale with little bureaucracy and faster velocity - I feel that my work is rewarded and if I put 1 unit of work into it, I get at least 1 unit of return out of it, which I think is the most you can ask for out of a career and company.

Cons

- It's a startup and finding product market fit is a messy task - If you're looking for a role where you're going to coast, this is not the company.
