Pros

The engineering culture is fantastic. There's a strong sense of 'we're in this together,' and people are always willing to jump in to help solve a problem, whether it's their specific area of responsibility or not.

Cons

The Automate/Industrial Inspection domain is incredibly complex (drones, 3D models, AI, etc.). The ramp-up time for new hires can be steep, and documentation sometimes lags behind the speed of innovation.

Pros

- Great engineering culture: thoughtful decision-making, room to grow + internal promotions, engineers feels like they're on the same team, leadership actually cares about what engineers think. - Compelling technology: robots flying in the sky and walking around is really cool - Competitive compensation package: recruiters usually cannot match my base

Cons

- Leadership is sometimes a bit overly optimistic/ambitious when setting goals. Fortunately, there is NOT a culture of engineers working overtime on nights + weekends to make up for this; they just change scope or resources or deadlines. - Engineering feels understaffed. This may be a symptom of the above ambition. But I think it's also because the company has a lot of technical surface area. Every 4 weeks when it's my turn to be the support on-call engineer, it's a full-time job.
