Pros

One of the best things about working at Symbotic is the team orientated professional environment that inspires collaboration. It's refreshing to work in a company where people don't just come in to bang away at a keyboard for 8 hours. The daily interaction between employees is indicative of the company culture overall. The other great aspect about working here is that the product/ technology is truly innovative. Being on the cutting edge in a particular field is exciting and employees are always pushing the boundaries to come up with new ideas on how to improve the product.

Cons

With so many company initiatives active at once, it can be frustrating trying to accomplish everything in the project times given, which is fairly typical of many small technology companies.

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.
