      Pros

      CEO and CTO are smart people. The robots generally work.

      Cons

      COO only values people with military backgrounds and is extremely allergic to dissent. I've seen people get fired effectively for disagreeing with him. He also likes to bring in his military buddies regardless of skill or talent (some of them have not been smart people at all). COO was an intern at a financial institution and has no real management, sales, or engineering experience but loves to flaunt his Harvard MBA and pretend that makes him respectable. Sales stagnated during the time when he started and I left the company.

      Thank you for the honest review. As the cofounder, I'm sad that we didn't live up to your expectations, and completely respect that 2019 and the first half of 2020 were very hard years for Cobalt and the team, including a lot of deep cuts and cultural shifts we had to make, and our COO helped guide us through. Since then, we've emerged faster and stronger - we can deploy to new customers faster than ever before, and our number of robots deployed has more than doubled. I can certainly guarantee that me and my cofounder are still 110% committed :)

      Pros

      It would've been 5 stars a year ago or so but that has changed. I joined a company with top-notch engineering talent, a collaborative culture, righteous values, and the opportunity to do hard things in the robotics space. That all went away when they hired a wannabe COO with no proven experience to run the company. If you're sensitive to risk then it might be worth joining, just go in with eyes open! But if you have military background, you're safe!

      Cons

      The COO has been on a layoff spree since he joined. Yes, I said the COO because the CEO just lets him do as he pleases and doesn't have the heart or backbone to take hold of his company. The COO clearly bring in his cronies, throws everyone else on the scrap heap, gets rich, and is just looking for his next move.
