Cognex reviews

Biggest con is this crazy CEO who does not understand the woes of his employees, and just cares about pleasing the investors and board members of the company just so he can enjoy sending stupid mails called Robservations on a weekly basis. FML. This company does nothing new but copy its competitors' (read Keyence) products and follow their way of working. The management knows nothing about the market/customers and they simply hire people from Keyence/Omron and run the business without providing them proper demo units. The company brags about collaboration time and again but the sales people and their managers won't share information with people working in the other territory fearing credit/commission sharing. Some of the markets are devastated due to so many pricing conflicts by improper partner/vendor handling by the DSMs. You'll come across politics in each and every step of the hierarchy in this so called "flat organisation". We all know there's nothing like a flat Earth and a flat organisation. The CEO just wants to impress the board members and the senior leadership team by bragging about everything, all while ignoring the efforts and pleas of those at the bottom of the hierarchy. The only way to succeed in this organisation is by (you guessed it right) licking the feet of your managers and celebrating them all the time by taking selfies and posting it everywhere like they were some movie stars or something. The company forces you to sign a non-smoking agreement, but quite ironically, almost everyone in the company smokes freely in the presence of other employees and during company gatherings. Oh. the company gatherings!! They are severely under-budgeted outings in the name of "Play Hard" events. They discuss team spirit and collaboration during the gatherings, only to return to office, forget everything, and start working with a selfish intent.
