It's hard to find a place to start because there are so many major cons. Also this is a very correct use of the word. The company is a giant CON.
There is no science or artificial intelligence. End of story. This company is a SYSTEM INTEGRATOR nothing more. Bright Machines had a giant opportunity to change manufacturing before they fired or laid off the best engineering staff I've ever worked with because they couldn't sell their crappy 1.0 product, which none of us wanted to work on in the first place.
Now they put lipstick on that dirty pig and sell it as "AI and science", when it's just a skinned PLC with 1980's technology that they modify for every customer.
Read the reviews here carefully. You'll see the company's attempts to game the Glassdoor system by having their 'sales people' write 5 star reviews. Read what the engineers say. Infact the engineers provide the true story. Corrupt management that abuse their people, top-down authoritarian politics and terrible political infighting between Israel and everyone else.
Also, executives scream at people and are abusive. I have never seen anything worse and can't wait to leave this hell hole.
I'm writing this review as many others have as a warning to other engineers that might be enamored by a slick sales pitch. Run, run to anywhere else. Bright Machines ruins careers and it will ruin yours if you work here.
