Great Place to Work - Test Engineer Neato Robotics Employee Review

Great people, good management. Hard work but pays off

Nothing major, was a great learning opportunity. Wish i got more shifts

Not far from the Dumbarton bridge. 5-10 minutes of walking. Surely a fatal dive. Their robot cleaned very well. It actually out cleaned every other robot until management took design cues from marketing. “We can’t sell a robot without a side brush”. It turns out that they can’t sell robots with side brushes either.

No shuttle service specifically to Dumbarton bridge. Supervisors would use vulgarity and bullying to try to motivate engineers if not in favor. There was no way the help leadership, and the company, because no advice was welcome from many of the employees. It was clear this was a hostile place to work by the end of the second week. I spent my entire time there filling out applications each time I took a bathroom break. Criticism about petty matters was common. This place hemorrhaged a lot of people, most pretty good people.
