So much potential, it is invigorating but also frustrating when the magic isn't appreciated by C-level execs.

Pros

The business of designing robots requires broad experience, and gives employees broad experience when working here. Employees can cultivate their understanding of mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing as applied to consumer and military robots. It is not a boring place to work.

Cons

Suprisingly, there are almost never any cool robots wandering the halls.

Hiring while Laying Off

Pros

The company just merged and before, it was great. The people are very friendly and great. Work life balance is good and half day Fridays during the summer is definitely very good for employees. Location is very good, close to route 3 and 128.

Cons

There has been a lot of layoff due to cost cutting. While it is understandeable to reduce cost, that does not mean you hire people at the same time. Just 2 days ago, 6 positions opened up while there are people still leaving due to layoffs. At the same time, people are laid off and getting replaced by people fresh out of college. People who have been laid off have been told to train these new fresh out of college who are probably paid a fraction of the person who got laid off.
