Pros

- Great place to work if you are looking for an opportunity north of Boston. Symbotic employees are intelligent, extremely hard-working, and understand the importance of helping others - Free catered lunch (pizza & salad) every Friday - Free/Unlimited hot coffee/tea/soda - Casual work environment. - Flexible hours which is great for work-life balance - Strong employee referral program

Cons

- The office in MA is not accessible by public transportation, so you do need a car to get to the office. - The office space is adequate, but could use more of a modern touch.

Pros

Interesting technology and exposure to advanced automation systems. Opportunity to work on complex engineering projects.

Cons

Poor work-life balance with high expectations and little flexibility. Communication from leadership and the general manager was very limited, making it difficult to stay aligned. There was also a lack of transparency around performance expectations and job security. Even when performing well and fully understanding the environment and workflows, employees could be let go without warning or a second chance. This creates unnecessary turnover and results in lost knowledge, requiring time and resources to retrain new engineers who are unfamiliar with the systems.
