      Pros

      - Working with experienced roboticists - People are ready to help you, and there are regular "learning" sessions where you ask whatever questions you want to senior robotics algorithm developers - As a new hire, I found the on-boarding technical trainings very structured and useful - Office, and the equipment provided was very good - Very affordable city to live in - Virtual onboarding and support during COVID19 - Blacksburg area has lots of greenery

      Cons

      Based on your preferences a fast paced work environment may/may not work for you. Blacksburg is a relatively small place.

      Pros

      Exciting Tech Wonderful, dedicated, hard working team members

      Cons

      Controlling Leadership leads to uncertainty and fear in the ranks High school type politics Large amount of turnover recently This is not a good place to work if you have a family, time demands can be excessive Company seems interested in aggressively trying to sell itself to anyone who is interested

      TORC Robotics Response

      Thank you for the feedback. I agree that we cannot continue to operate the way we did when the company was 1/4 of the size it is today. In 2019, we will be implementing career development for all employees and have brought in outside consultants to assist/educate us on how to roll this out. Also, our theme for 2019 is setting Life Goals, not just Torc goals. Team members should not only be focused on Torc, but Health, Vacation and Community Goals. This should lead to a more balanced team, and empower team leaders to push back on leadership when demands are excessive. Thank you for the candid feedback; we can't get better without it.
