Mixed - Anonymous employee Ascent Robotics Employee Review

・Your colleagues are friendly in general and the operation & sales teams are very helpful. ・The company took a very quick action and introduced WFH policy to prevent their employees from the risk of getting COVID-19. ・Compensate fairly well compared with most companies in Japan. ・CEO is a well known figure and can potentially leverage his presence to drive the business with clients. ・Managers don't micro manage their team members and there are a lot of freedom.

・The company is lacking tech leads / senior engineers who are professionally mature, competent in leading projects & software engineering. ・The management does not take performance review seriously and they randomly put together a 360 review. Obviously unless he/she does a really bad job no one will get a low score hence this does not reveal low and high performers.

- As the other reviews have mentioned, you'll be surrounded by really intelligent, outgoing, and hardworking engineers/researchers that get things done - Work hours are very flexible, as long as you work within the core hours and average 8 hours per day, you can come and go as you please - Great learning environment. I learned a lot from my mentor (who is one of the best mentors I've had) and from my colleagues. A lot of the engineers/researchers are quite passionate in what they do and are more than happy to teach what they know. - Everyone speaks English in the company which is convenient, but I'd encourage you to learn some Japanese even though you'll be fine with just speaking English - Oh and did I mention they have really cool toys like robotic arms

- There's definitely plenty of things that the company could improve on as mentioned by the other reviews, however, they've been putting in a lot of effort into addressing these problems to make their employees much happier.
