Business Outlook

Pros

robotics is a challenging but fun area to work in. Engineering decisions are data-driven and management create a great environment for creativity.

Cons

Growing pains, esp. interactions with contractors and temporary hires. Getting political but not too bad. This is not as big a problem as many other places Engineering titles are not standardized
