Pros

The technology developed in-house is interesting and there are a few talented engineers who are doing creative and cutting-edge software development. Passionate CEO.

Cons

The engineering leadership is very weak, lacks a vision. Innovation and problem solving have been discouraged in favor of work presentation and bureaucratic process. The severity depends on the team you work with. Engineering culture has shifted from being innovative in the early days to be bureaucratic and political. Some talents have already left and a few I knew were thinking about the departure. CEO is opinionated and could be stubborn at times.

Pros

Coworkers were great. Good product with customer excitement.

Cons

Zebra bought the company and laid most people off. In our exit interview they basically told us they didn’t know how to run a robotics company, and to compensate for the lack of growth they had to… get rid of most of the engineers who could scale the product.
