Pros: You get to work on and around cool robots. The work is interesting and stimulating.

Cons: Leadership speaks with multiple POVs, and moves in lockstep. This creates frequent confusion when someone in leadership agrees to investigate an issue or take feedback and then never does it. Internal politics are everywhere. It feels like a much larger company than it is due to the speed of changes.

Pros: Cool Product with some roles that are remote friendly

Cons: Leadership, or ELT as they like to say, works in lockstep with one another. Communication is horrible and getting worse by the day. New members of leadership have zero experience in the roles that they are doing and are complete bullies. Leadership will lie continuously and only care about themselves. Lots of turnover in the last six months. All the open roles are backfills from folks that have left the company. The culture of this company is so toxic, all because of extremely poor leadership at the executive level. The COO and VP of Software and Hardware are good people, but everyone else on the executive team is really bad. The Recruiting and People team will make promises about an amazing culture and future for the company that is simply completely untrue, and the Director of Talent who sold me on the company left, as well as the Manager of People Operations, which really made me feel like they were dishonest people. All in all, I can't say anything positive about Agility or the future of this company.

Pros: Agility Robotics is already one of the leaders in humanoid and general purpose robotics, and they have great ties to the research in these fields. Unlike lots of other robotics and AI companies, they don't rely on flashy marketing and instead let the robots' capabilities speak for themselves. Working for Agility is like being part of a growing family with a unified vision to change the economy of labor.

Cons: Unfortunately, Agility Robotics isn't located in a big city - Portland is about an hour and a half away as is Eugene. That being said, there are plenty of outdoorsy activities in and around the Willamette Valley area and the employees regularly engage in these together.
