Pros

Decent salary, hardware products widely used in the robotics industry

Cons

Very little software development and people management experience in the leadership and management. Company went all in on this software project, but there were close to 0 sales from it since it launched early this year, as the software cannot handle most scenarios that the customers want. Uncertain financial future. Lots of quick and dirty hacks and thus huge amount of technical debt. Developers with key positions and key technical knowledge have been laid off. No attempt to keep morale up by management after layoffs. Remaining developers are shamed if they do not finish tasks on tight, arbitrary deadlines.

Pros

Hands-on development and deployment on robotic arms and end-effectors is unique. Opportunities to travel to trade shows and different offices around the world.

Cons

Stressful environment to work in with unclear direction from management. Deadlines are arbitrary, constant pressure to work on short timelines only to have deadlines moved at the last second. Company is sales-focused, not a great environment for R&D or product innovation. Can be difficult working across time zones around the world, meeting times are unusual.
