Pros

The challenges that the company is addressing pique considerable interest, encompassing a plethora of unresolved complexities within the realm of robotics, necessitating innovative methodologies. Additionally, the colleagues are very nice

Cons

I feels like I was lied to. Initially, they told me that the company is close to Redmond, but it's actually situated in the mountains of Monroe, WA which is far from everything. It's a 40 mins drive from Redmond. We have to work in a building on the founder's private land, which I not sure if it's legal. The area is residential but we are doing business. This area is so remote, there is no cell reception, so you cannot take personal calls except in the building, so no privacy. Also, I was told the state of the product & code is much farther along than it is. The business is also told to be more farther along than it is. Many times, it seems like I was lied to. The pressure is very high. Seems like everyone is under lots of pressure from founder Adam. Founder expects everything to get done instantly as well, deadlines in his mind seems not in touch with reality. Many of us don't have any idea what the founder does all day, he does not share what he works on, just seems to pressure employees. He is in office often taking meetings or doesn't show up to work. It is very strange that the other co-founder does not seem to have any vote or power. Looking at the quality of codebase when I joined, I am not sure he has ever worked on a production robotics system before. It's not good quality for production or scale, very prototype-y. I really likes all the other engineers, but I think I may have made mistake here.

Pros

There are a lot of fun things to work on. The teams work well together and the end product is fun to see in action. We get great lunches and snacks. If you want something to change everyone seems to be open to new ideas.

Cons

It is pretty small, so it can feel like there are not a lot of people around sometimes. Everyone still responds to their messages. The dead lines can be somewhat stressful, but it's not bad.
