Pros

ABSOLUTELY NONE. As a future engineer, this is the worst, most toxic, outdated company I’ve ever applied for.

Cons

I had one of the most uncomfortable interview experiences I’ve ever encountered at this company. What began with seemingly friendly conversation quickly shifted when I overheard staff repeating and mocking things I had said, including comments about the way I speak. Even harmless remarks were twisted into something negative, which made the environment feel judgmental, gossipy, and unprofessional. Throughout the process I felt on edge, worried that anything I said would be used against me. Compared to interviews I’ve had at well-established engineering organizations, where communication is respectful and supportive, this experience felt unusually discouraging and emotionally draining. The interview process itself was also poorly structured. I was required to take a one-hour geometry test in the lobby with no real table, heavy foot traffic, and an extremely outdated calculator, and my handwritten work was criticized. After that came nearly two hours of rapid-fire questions about robotics and other topics, along with repeated reminders that I had arrived ten minutes late. The overall process felt disorganized, outdated, and unnecessarily stressful, especially for an entry-level role. I ultimately received an offer but chose not to continue, as this environment did not reflect the professionalism, respect, or modern practices I look for in an engineering-focused workplace. I would encourage candidates to read other reviews and be aware of these concerns before interviewing.
