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).

Pros

When I joined the company, the CEO John Lert defined a solid productive inspiring environment. He brewed coffee for everybody, was very detail-oriented and highly technical. This was due to him and other execs at that time, that CasePick was successful early on. However, times changed in 2009 when the company was acquired by C&S and replaced the CEO.

Cons

When C&S acquired CasePick, things turned for worse. Both C&S team and the new CEO has brought opaque dysfunctional system with politics. All talented people left in 2010-2011. C&S tried to spin off the company and renamed it to SymBotic and hired Jim Baum as CEO who currently doesn't even list SymBotic on Linkedin. Very sad story.

Thank you for being with our company when we were a true start-up and working by the side of our founder. We are proud to say that our CEO shows his Symbotic support on LinkedIn and we have grown the company to over 150 talented professionals and will continue to grow with adding more talented professionals. Please contact our HR team to let us know how we can continue to bring in more talent at info@symbotic.com.
