Pros

Good people to work with and solve complex problems , good benefits

Cons

Good tech stack but bad product quality low salaries New leadership doesn’t understand the tech they are dealing with and pushing teams to a limit and forcing them to go above and beyond while they are comfortable sitting in meetings and reviewing numbers and constantly making bad decisions which again effecting the people who are working hard to fix the issues they create in the first place.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We agree that our team is awesome, and our benefits are second to none! Our compensation is market based and our total rewards package is highly competitive – including salaries, benefits coverage, and equity. Our benefits package also includes flex scheduling as well as flexible PTO to allow our team life/work balance. As a startup, working on complex problems, we know and recognize that our employees go above and beyond; their efforts do not go unnoticed. While some members of our leadership team are new to Vecna Robotics, they are not new to the robotics industry, technology, or start-up culture. Having a leadership team with a diverse professional background is extremely important to keep our ideas and products fresh and engaging. Safety and quality are paramount to us. We have teams focused on quality and safety as well as providing customer support – 24/7. As a growth-stage company, we continue to learn from our people, our customers, and our robots. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and invite you to reach out to feedback@vecnarobotics.com with any other comments/questions.

Exciting problems to solve, not enough attention to quality and management

Pros

The problems the company is trying to solve are fun and exciting to work on. Great exposure to different sides of engineering and thought processes that go into difficult problem solving.

Cons

Little to no attention to quality, products are put out the door too quickly and management is inexperienced or too busy to actually manage.

Pros

Benefits and ping-pong, I guess

Cons

Just received word that yet more employees were laid off, which makes this the third instance of layoffs in the last few years. I for one am currently seeking new opportunities and recommending my employees to do the same. Back in October, when they carelessly laid off 40+ employees, the CEO looked us all in our eyes and said there would be no other layoffs in the foreseeable future. This latest development is no surprise considering the company is hemorrhaging funds left and right and making other poor financial decisions. I've spoken to many colleagues since, and they, along with myself plan to look for other career opportunities with companies that have much better long-term potential. The company has also been losing major contracts due to multiple false claims, fallacies, and blatant maladroitness . This shows absolute ineptitude from upper management who seem to care more about their image than delivering a product promise. It will be very clear how inefficient the company is when all of their annual contracts fail to be renewed due to their ignorance, ineptitude, and incompetence. Just so we're clear, you only have one star because zero wasn't an option.

We always appreciate the feedback of current and former employees, however, when a review is completely false, we have to call it out. Vecna Robotics is not having layoffs, to the contrary. We continue to hire and thrive in the market, bringing in numerous new customers in the last 6 months as well as maintaining 100% customer retention. We understand that when the economy feels unstable, employee departures are viewed with extra scrutiny. Our leadership team remains steadfast in their commitment to Vecna Robotics employees, customers and the company. Some details: • Our CEO’s commitment to a one-time company restructuring last summer remains true – there have been no additional layoffs since that event. • Our CFO is highly experienced in the nuances of start-up funding and has worked to ensure our financial runway remains secure. • Our CTO and SVP of Customer Operations are dedicated to providing a safe and reliable product evidenced by securing new customers and retention of existing ones. Our company remains committed to providing exceptional employee and customer experience. And the results are clear: employee engagement scores remain high, peer reviews of our technology are positive and customers are growing their automation fleets. We are excited about what 2023 will bring.
