Pros

Not a bad place to start right out of college.

Cons

Survives mostly off of college students and unpaid interns. No room for real growth and tries to play off all the instability as being a startup. I don't think you get to claim you're a startup after 7 years of trying to get a company off the ground. Tries to run a learning center but avoids all student safety protocols and spent more time trying to find a loophole to stay out of trouble if a child gets snatched than if they just had a basic checkout system. CEO in the US spends too much time trying to show he can actually run a copy but the CEO of the Korean branch is carrying the company. He keeps saying that we have to be quiet about the US and Korean companies being the same company (they share inventory and staff) since it's not legal? I guess they're registered as separate entities even though they're not? Either way, I didn't want to be here when this company got investigated.

Pros

I've been part of Robolink since its early days, and the company has gone through many ups and downs, but we're finally at a good product-market-fit. The company is growing quickly, and a lot of talented people are joining. We have a great mission of striving to make STEM education exciting, especially through drone competitions and curriculum where students can see how code can make physical objects actually move and fly in the real world. It feels like the team has finally hit its stride. The team has been growing and become more structured, however the company still has a culture of being nimble. I also like to think we're a pretty flexible and accommodating workplace, whether on-site or remote.

Cons

As a growing company, we also often are still missing structure for many operational items that a larger company might have in place. Things like where to find assets, onboarding protocol, project handoffs, internal policies. So oftentimes, people do need to dig around or have multiple conversations to find information, since until more recently the team was small enough to not need extensive documentation. It's something the company—including myself, as part of leadership—are working on, though with juggling multiple priorities, it can be tough to make it happen quickly enough. They're growing pains, but for new team members, there can be a learning curve as a result.
