Pros

N/A, really not a good place. They don't have the best technology as far as I can tell (more than 3 years there). What they can do other companies can also do. If your better choices could be Nimble, Boston Dynamics etc.

Cons

1. Indian governed company, if you don't mind working with tons of Indians. 2. Toxic culture. They force you to work overtime but no compensation at all. 3. Minimum stok options. CEO Samir is very stingy and unwilling to give you options. Yet when they finish a project or win a contract, they give themselves 100x times more options than yours. 4. The CEO has already sold his options back to Dexterity while other employees are not allowed to do so. 5. Very cold-blooded HR department. If you're not a green card holder or U.S. citizen, don't waste time here, it takes they forever to even just get you an I-140. 6. Minimum salary. They low-ball everybody. 7. Ask them who Samuel Eggers is. They had this guy committed suicide.

Pros

- If you showcase talent, you will move up the company. No time-gated promotions like other companies. - Get to work on really interesting, disruptive technology. - You get to wear many hats and work on side projects that interest you. - Great meal service.

Cons

- Fully onsite positions, but there is a lack of facilities on-site. Long term a gym, more meeting rooms, better eating facilities would be better.

Pros

- Lots of opportunities for problem solving. - Great robotics platform to learn and develop (if you can get into the right work group). - Pay is decent for the industry. - Benefits are very generous.

Cons

- The environment is stressful (understandable for a startup) but hard work doesn’t feel rewarding or appreciated. Be ready to work a lot and not be recognized for it. - The team seems very reactive to problems instead of anticipating/scheduling for them, making the workload more stressful than necessary. - Teams are heavily segregated from each other making, communication of tasks and priorities difficult. - As a technician, I was rarely asked for help by the engineering staff for mechanical problem solving or design input (I have extensive experience in both). - Company culture is nonexistent. Company social events are few and far between, often feeling thrown together without much thought. Any suggestions for improving culture are snubbed or deprioritized. - Career growth plans are not taken seriously. Yearly reviews for compensation adjustments are promised by management but are not executed. - The CEO has great energy and optimism but lacks true leadership skills and is not inspiring. Those in top leadership positions who reasonably challenge the CEO are usually fired and replaced with more “agreeable” people.
