      Pros

      I've worked on the Software team for over 3 years now, and I've had the opportunity to move up into a more senior level role. The work is challenging (in a good way), always changing, learning new things every day. There is never a dull moment in software. I'm not as familiar with the hardware side of things. The company seems to be growing a ton since I started here, re-branding our name, making many new changes. I have hope that we will be successful for the future.

      Cons

      Starting salary was great, raises have been on the lower side each year (having been through 3 raise cycles already). I'd like to see a higher scale of bonuses and raises, especially for employees that have been here since the CasePick Systems days and really stuck it out during all the company changes (i.e. management, etc).

      Thank you for being with our team for over three years, we are glad you have felt challenged and learned a lot of new things since you have been at our company. Sounds like you may have some great ideas on how to improve our employee recognition and should join us at our next Employees Activity Committee meeting.

      Employee frustration with inept management is ruining the company

      Pros

      Robotic automation of warehouses is a growing market.

      Cons

      Management is inept. They don't plan or staff projects appropriately and they don't recognize that their failure to do so has consequences. Instead they blame employees and treat them with disdain. There is a total lack of respect for management by employees that permeates in every group. Employee morale is horrible.

      Thank you for also thinking that working with robotics and automation in a growing market is a major pro for our company. To continually improve employee morale we have assembled two employee committees for the office environment and for activities and recognition. It seems like you have some great ideas so please join us at one of our next meetings. Our upper management and executive teams have been working together in order to continually be more strategic and collaborative. Similarly they have also been hosting Lunch and Learns on most pizza Fridays to share the history of each group’s impressive work and what projects they are currently on in order to help keep all employees informed. Please be sure to contact our HR or marketing teams to discuss how we can improve further at info@symbotic.com.

      Pros

      The hardware groups, including electrical, mechanical, and firmware, are well managed and have leaders that understand the nature of the work. People do great work and they work well together.

      Cons

      The software group is a complete nightmare and management rules by threat and fear. There are many smart and wonderful engineers who will be worked to the bone and ultimately blamed for management failures.

      We are appreciative that you also find our hardware group to be phenomenal. Our software team has been adding more collaborative meetings to be sure that they are listening to their engineers and cultivating both pivotal projects and innovative ideas. Our software teams have also be partaking in cross-team building via cross-team lunches. Please contact our HR and marketing team to let us know how we can continue to make our teams more collaborative at info@symbotic.com.
