Pros

Great balance between work <> personal life Very cleaver colleagues

Cons

No product management/ownership Projects change scope very often Projects aren't really innovative but rather following current/recent past technologies IT Department limits the use of modern tools (e.g: no use of cloud tools) Although they say they use Agile, in reality, they use Waterfall methodology No bonus scheme based on performance (only for managers)

First we would like to apologize for the tardy reply and thank you for the feedback. We’re committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees. Our passion is to change the world one cobot at a time. The level of growth and change required to maintain our market position demands extreme agility – and sometimes our greatest asset is our ability to change direction and/or scope quickly. Communicating these changes to colleagues including the rationale and value of the change is key and an area for improvement. The past six months have definitely seen quite a few changes as we continued to grow our workforce and focused on key projects such as our recent product launch, e-Series. Continuing our position as an innovation leader in the cobot market is one of our highest priorities.
