Pros
1. Working with advanced technology 2. Great engineers 3. Have an opportunity to travel to Dubai 4. Attend top tech events
Cons
1. Very poor working culture: Management have no self respect towards themselves as well as their employees, they view staff as commodities in which they settle for slavery as a working ethic. Many times have I witnessed holidays being rejected without any valid reason or justification. Management have a lack of empathy towards a balance of work and home. 2. Fraudulent academics: Academic lecturers and professors who work at the company work as advisors have zero level understanding of robotics whatsoever. With the snare of poor quality judgement they dig into fields in which they have zero experience of and dictate towards actual professionals on how work should be done (the irony). 3. Being rewarded an assistant randomly: Particular indviduals who work as managers, especially within Marketing recieve assistant 4. Lack of technical understanding: All project managers and leads have a very poor understanding of any engineering project, as a result projects are rushed and the quality of working performance as well as the outcome of a project goes below low. Personally one of the managers who were given to manage a project I was working on told me a robot could be delivered to a client within 2 months, which is insane. 5. Friendship over skill: This is a huge con and should be considered when applying to this company, management seem to only hire their friends, especially in the London office. Friends who had no technical skill or any other skill that was relevant to the business would not be a factor in the hiring process. This made management very weak and very stupid. Individuals who came from working in retail and cinemas were hired as Marketing leads and Operations. This is not how a startup should function. 6. Lack of training and support: Training and support was promised by management countless times however those who needed it were rejected. On many occasions junior engineers were pleading for help however technical managers rejected. 7. Not being paid: This is a huge one to watch out for, there were times people were not paid for 3 months, this was insane and when asked about not being paid management would make threats. 8. Useless threats: Management not to be named made countless threats to those who challenged how projects progressed, this was such childish behaviour. Management would often claim that they could do an engineers job (they all have business degrees). 9. Affairs in the office: It was stated strictly on every employee contract and was a very huge policy that no employee was to have any type of relationship whatsoever. However this did not stop management, management were organising pool parties with the female staff outside of work, particular managers started having secret relationships. This is nasty behaviour. 10. Racism: Countless times racial slurs were thrown around the workplace, specifically towards indians and chinese. Absolutely disgusting.
