Pros

I joined Symbotic in October 2014 as the new Human Resources Manager and am excited for the opportunity to make a difference by growing our HR function, including implementing a variety of programs and practices that will attract and retain our talent while continuing to move Symbotic into the future. At Symbotic, I enjoy working with talented professionals who are passionate about their work and take pride in what they do. Symbotic’s innovative technology, excellent benefits, employee appreciation events and recognition programs, challenging work and employee perks are just a few examples of what makes it a great place to work. The leadership team is engaged, committed to positioning the company for growth and success and recognizes that the company’s most valuable assets are its employees. So far, this has been an incredible experience and I can’t wait to grow with the company and see what the future holds!

Cons

The company is growing rapidly with many new hires. As a result, it needs to continue to find opportunities to develop and foster its corporate culture and to promote communication within the organization so that employees understand how everyone impacts and contributes to the company’s products and technology.

Pros

Interesting technology and exposure to advanced automation systems. Opportunity to work on complex engineering projects.

Cons

Poor work-life balance with high expectations and little flexibility. Communication from leadership and the general manager was very limited, making it difficult to stay aligned. There was also a lack of transparency around performance expectations and job security. Even when performing well and fully understanding the environment and workflows, employees could be let go without warning or a second chance. This creates unnecessary turnover and results in lost knowledge, requiring time and resources to retrain new engineers who are unfamiliar with the systems.
