This company has so much potential. Jobs in this company could be so great. Building a robot from scratch is such an amazing feat.
Unfortunately, lots of people in the wrong positions, lots of overhead and process, and lack of good, qualified leadership make this place a tedious place to work in. However, because of lots of unqualified leadership it doesn’t matter if you work hard or just slack off. You won’t climb the latter unless you kiss butt and land at the right place, right time. But you’ll get good food and a decent paycheck.
How was the deal for you? Do you feel you won or lost money?
