      Pros

      Good group of people to work with, depending on which department you're in. Interesting projects regarding robotics. Location isn't bad for most people.

      Cons

      The company offers an extremely poor healthcare package. The plans are expensive and coverage isn't sufficient in most situations. Performance reviews and raises are laughable at best, with the majority of employees receiving "excellent" ratings and rewarded with 2% salary increases. The major downsides are inexperienced and sub-par employees which hinder overall progress with ongoing projects. Upper management fails to focus and lead the company in the proper direction. There is little acknowledgment for employee efforts and salary ranges are below industry averages.

      Thank you for the feedback. Previously, Symbotic was exceedingly focused on scaling. More recently, the focus of the company has shifted to delivering for current customers through consistent and reliable performance. This is partly aligned with the CEO transition you mention. This shift has required us to realign our resources and rethink our priorities to take us to the next stage . We are learning as we go and doing our best to improve for our customers—and each other. If you’re comfortable, I encourage you to bring up any specific suggestions you have with your manager or reach out to anyone on the leadership team directly.

      Wouldn't wish this company onto my worst enemy

      Pros

      Free parking and that's about it

      Cons

      One of the funniest/weirdest thing in my entire professional career happened to me in this company. I was actually getting some work done on a specific module and to be fair, it was taking a bit more time than expected. So I got a call from the supervisor and then he told me to share my screen so that he can watch me write code and as in he actually wants to monitor me write code which includes looking at me as I google specific syntax and figure out the solution. This was just to make sure I'm not slacking and he making sure I'm meeting the deadline and this was on the development server, not on production or anything of that kind. Instead of pulling such stunts, you should know that he never bothered either reviewing my work or making sure I'm following proper Software Design protocols. So basically as a Software Developer, if you ever had a fantasy of being watched while you wrote code in case if there was a delay, this place would be the right fit for you. This itself should give an idea of what kind of micro-management you'll end up dealing with if you decide to join here and this was all within a month of joining there. Overall the company policy is to squeeze as much as possible, as quickly as possible and then to get rid of you. You can be hired as a permanent employee but can be fired with a moment's notice.  I would like to wish good luck to the next person.
