Pros

Pay and benefits are still available - for now

Cons

After three years of denial and lying to employees and investors the end is near. As of 2022: our completely incompetent CEO was just fired, the SPAC deal imploded, the CRO quit, the rest of C-Staff is leaving, the toxic founder was finally ousted, everyone is jumping ship. The company never generated any meaningful revenue or technology aside from system integrating machines that had none of the advertised AI and so-called advanced technology. We had a chance early on when we built a great engineering team in the US but sales never followed through, and a toxic culture, weak leadership and a wave of constant political battles destroyed the company.

Pros

This is a fantastic company, everyone is very dedicated and excited to work for this company. The pay is good, the benefits are great and they care about our input. I have never worked for a company that supports and listens to everyone. The rules are fair.

Cons

Parking is far to walk. We share a space with Jabil and most Jabil employees are rude.
