Pros

PROS 1) Timely paychecks 2) Finally scratch "Ride ICE RS26 floor scrubber" off bucket list 3) Great psychological conditioning and hardening 4) Over twenty coffee choices

Cons

CONS Quick and dirty.,,, BrainCorp is in a sharp growth cycle. Softbank Vision Fund invested $110 million and that led to a hiring frenzy. Twenty hires a month, no space. Very ugly politics. Management is twitchy. Decisions fall to oddly picked consortiums or an arbitrary unqualified catchall. Dangerous to question or push these decisions. Also, Wag, the dog walking service, got $300 million. (edited)

Pros

- Great environment to learn, try new things, and get exposed to all sides of robotics - Many opportunities to show your worth and take ownership - Engineering organization is flexible, communicative, and understanding. - Generally a good work-life balance.

Cons

- Executive and product team seems clueless on how the company will continue to make money - Company is trying to sell too many products without even having any flagship products that consistently make money - Still run like a startup that sustains itself on engineers being understaffed and overworking themselves to keep the company above water - Corporate side of the company is completely disconnected from engineering
