Symbotic reviews

For people who love robots, there is no other place like Symbotic. The challenges we are working on are mind-boggling and challenging but fun. As an engineer, I love how the path from idea to deployment is fast and short. I also love the scale of our systems - we move millions of cases in warehouses every day, so the improvements we make to our systems have a huge impact. There are only a couple of other companies that have multi-robot systems with hundreds/thousands of robots working in close collaboration, and there are no other companies where engineers can go from idea to deployment on such a massive system so rapidly. Pros: - Unique challenges and opportunities in deploying massive multi-robot systems - Compensation that is competitive with / outcompetes big tech - Abundant engineering talent

Worked at Symbotic for about 2 years as a test engineer. Didn't know much about the industry before my hiring, outside of academic experience. Hiring manager gave me a chance and threw me on some challenging but exciting projects when I started. My first reaction was "This is way out of my league.", but with all the skills and knowledge I gained in computer science, I now understand how valuable those projects were. I am highly more knowledgeable and marketable in this field now thanks to Symbotic and the fantastic directors and colleagues I work with. I continue to get involved in work I have limited experience in but it's highly motivating to work in robotics (especially the department I work for) and I couldn't ask for better experiences. You also get free lunch, breakfast and stock options which are all great. Prove your worth and Symbotic will take care of you. That's how my experience has been.
