Pros

Benefits and ping-pong, I guess

Cons

Just received word that yet more employees were laid off, which makes this the third instance of layoffs in the last few years. I for one am currently seeking new opportunities and recommending my employees to do the same. Back in October, when they carelessly laid off 40+ employees, the CEO looked us all in our eyes and said there would be no other layoffs in the foreseeable future. This latest development is no surprise considering the company is hemorrhaging funds left and right and making other poor financial decisions. I've spoken to many colleagues since, and they, along with myself plan to look for other career opportunities with companies that have much better long-term potential. The company has also been losing major contracts due to multiple false claims, fallacies, and blatant maladroitness . This shows absolute ineptitude from upper management who seem to care more about their image than delivering a product promise. It will be very clear how inefficient the company is when all of their annual contracts fail to be renewed due to their ignorance, ineptitude, and incompetence. Just so we're clear, you only have one star because zero wasn't an option.

Vecna Robotics Response
3y
We always appreciate the feedback of current and former employees, however, when a review is completely false, we have to call it out. Vecna Robotics is not having layoffs, to the contrary. We continue to hire and thrive in the market, bringing in numerous new customers in the last 6 months as well as maintaining 100% customer retention. We understand that when the economy feels unstable, employee departures are viewed with extra scrutiny. Our leadership team remains steadfast in their commitment to Vecna Robotics employees, customers and the company. Some details: • Our CEO’s commitment to a one-time company restructuring last summer remains true – there have been no additional layoffs since that event. • Our CFO is highly experienced in the nuances of start-up funding and has worked to ensure our financial runway remains secure. • Our CTO and SVP of Customer Operations are dedicated to providing a safe and reliable product evidenced by securing new customers and retention of existing ones. Our company remains committed to providing exceptional employee and customer experience. And the results are clear: employee engagement scores remain high, peer reviews of our technology are positive and customers are growing their automation fleets. We are excited about what 2023 will bring.

Pros

Nice facility and some decent people.

Cons

Avoid this place if you value stability. Management treats employees as disposable, often laying people off and "rebranding" the roles weeks later to bring in new faces. It’s a transparent and gross tactic. On top of that, there is a clear "favorites" system where toxic employees are allowed to thrive without consequences.
