Pros

The RPA industry is definitely hot and very trendy right now. It looks great from outside with funding. If you don't have a micro-manager, you get to take on additional responsibilities to add to your resume but be ready not to have any time off.

Cons

Very chaotic with a lot of broken internal systems. All processes are very manual and lots and lots of emails. Founders run the company like amateurs. Many of the senior management are friends of founders and it seems they are all connected on a personal level. It seems like good 70% are Indian and the rest are Chinese. Only few white. Lack of diversity in that regard. Management does not trust the employees (they tell you so) and everything requires so many approvals and takes forever. Changes direction with one word from the founders. You get texts and calls at 2 in the morning and they expect you to answer emails during holidays, weekends, day and night. You will have to create your boundaries or you will burn out! Working condition is worse. They double up people in a cube and it is so loud that you can’t focus on your work. When employees complain, CEO’s wife just says “just have fun with it”. We are not making big bucks so why should we stick around? So many people leaving only after a short time. They don't even offer 401K match. I tell my friends to stay away.

Thank you for the review. We do have a lot of systems that are breaking as a result of growth that has stretched every system to the breaking point. But we do have some great, new, scalable systems. We've implemented Workday and have turned on module after module, with more to come. Purchasing is now far less manual. Gone are the days of our broken HRIS. We're making progress! But it's true we have a lot more progress to make. Especially in the realm of work-life balance/blend. I'm sorry about your difficult experience. We will continue to strive to improve on these issues you mention.
