Deep founder vision with unusually ambitious work and fast pace
Pros
This is one of the most unique professional experiences I’ve had. The company was built around a very ambitious vision for physical AI, autonomy, and real-world systems. I came to work here for Troy Harvey's vision and principled approach to design. It was inspiring to work with him, and the mission drove me to work hard to achieve amazing things. I hope to continue to work with him in the future. What stood out most was the ability to connect hardware, software, AI, product, and customer value into one coherent direction. That kind of systems-level genius is rare. And his type of leadership uniquely collaborative leadership hard to come by. The work was meaningful because it felt like we were building something genuinely new, and we were doing it together as a team with a set of focused goals. The best part of the culture was the exposure to big ideas and high expectations. If you wanted to grow, learn, and be challenged, there was a lot of opportunity.
Cons
The pace and expectations are intense. Communication could sometimes move quickly if you aren't paying attention because the company and the ideas were operating at a high level of complexity.
