Great Robotics Startup

Pros

Very good culture and atmosphere. You are expected to take care of your own work with no supervision which is great for good self reliant people.

Cons

Sometimes the work schedule can be long or unpredictable but that also keeps the job interesting.

What a mess!

Pros

Avidbots once had a good work culture and employees were motivated to develop cool robots.

Cons

Avidbots shifted gears a while back. It is a robot-selling company now. This robotics startup has no plans to improve the autonomy or software of the product and they are not interested in investing in engineering. Engineering is just one of the many teams now and all they do is tweak code a little bit to make some small adjustments. If anyone proposes to improve the stack, the higher management will find minute issues to shut them down. The VPs of Sales and Marketing have hijacked the company where they go about claiming that their product is like an indoor Tesla. And when the clients realize that these claims are not true, they blame it on Engineering for a lousy product and move on. In the last year, at least three team leads have quit. The employees left are either planning to leave soon or are too incompetent to find another job. I am not sure how long this company will survive.
