Pros

Everyone has been very approachable, friendly and seem like they genuinely want to be here to contribute. Other things I appreciate are: direct communication, accessible and involved leadership, a faster pace (and very little bureaucracy), amazing products I can be proud to say I am part of, amazing free lunches, drinks, snacks, lots of fun and social people, location near the BART, did I mention FREE amazing lunches?!?

Cons

I am somewhat new compared to many others here and haven't yet found anything that I would consider a con.

Pros

-Amazing coworkers -Opportunities to explore new ideas and time to further develop them -Fantastic benefits (healthcare, meals, parties, beer on tap!) -Charlie Hite (the newest executive) is fantastic and truly cares about his employees. It was refreshing to see him promoted to an executive position.

Cons

-Little understanding or concern for disciplines outside of robotics -If you are a non-engineer seek work elsewhere -Few opportunities for promotion, Anki prefers to hire outside the company than to promote from within -Anki's next project looks grim

Pros

Anki is an amazing place work with really high quality people and always an opportunity to learn. It's part robotics start up, consumer electronics company, part toy company, part video game studio, part animation studio. I don't know anywhere else you could find this diversity of skills and interests all working on the same products. Unlike so many other robotics companies I've been part of or close to, Anki understand customer centered design and that to be successful a robot has to be a product, not just a neat platform.

Cons

Being in San Francisco you're stuck with either outrageous housing costs or a long commute. But at least it's central. Anki isn't a start up but it still operates very lean so be prepared for crunch times occasionally.
