Pros

If you work hard, keep your head up, and take care of business, Knightscope will recognize and reward you accordingly. There is plenty of opportunity for growth here, and even more opportunity to learn. The company maintains the energy and cross-functionality of a startup by encouraging innovation and collaboration, while also following processes and standards that you would expect from a larger corporation. Personally, I credit this company with getting me to where I am today, and I will always feel gratitude for the opportunities it has provided.

Cons

Knightscope doesn’t tolerate slacking off or toxic, narrow-minded attitudes. Can be very ambitious at times.
