Vantaggi

Cool products and great other engineers to work with.

Svantaggi

Management has no clue what they are doing. After assuring everyone for weeks that company was doing fine financially, they laid off the entire US MechE department by telling them "Move to Korea or take your severance." The C-level managers can't be trusted and have zero integrity despite what they claim about the company's goals and founding objectives. The manufacturing team in South Korea currently uses a single spreadsheet for BOM and revision tracking of their robots. Any time it was recommended that we put resources on fixing this issue management kept putting it off and kicking the problem further down the road.

Thanks for taking the time to share this! We're glad your first year at Bear has been a good one and that the work and the technology behind it have stood out. Building robots is fun, but it's even better when the people building them enjoy showing up each day. We'll take "no detractors" as a win, but we're not hibernating just yet. We'll keep looking for ways to make Bear an even better place to grow, build, and do meaningful work.

Vantaggi

The people are the best part of the company. There are talented, hardworking, and genuinely committed employees across every department who care deeply about the mission and want the business to succeed. Many continue producing quality work despite significant organizational challenges. The robotics market opportunity is real, and there is a genuine path to building a successful company in this space. Unfortunately, talent alone cannot compensate for the execution problems above it.

Svantaggi

The turnover rate is the single most important fact prospective employees should understand before joining this company. Employee departures are not isolated to one team, one function, or one period in time. Turnover extends across departments and management layers. High performers leave. Experienced operators leave. Managers leave. Regional leaders leave. When this pattern repeats itself over an extended period, it is no longer an employee problem. It is a leadership and organizational problem. A recurring issue is the disconnect between how the company presents itself externally and how it operates internally. Leadership often communicates a vision of a mature, enterprise-scale organization, yet many core processes and strategic decisions reflect a company still working through basic execution. Decision-making frequently appears reactive rather than strategic. Priorities shift with little notice, projects are started and abandoned, and teams are often required to redirect efforts based on changing executive preferences rather than measurable business outcomes. This creates confusion, inefficiency, and a sense of instability. There is a noticeable gap between rhetoric and reality. Significant emphasis is placed on narratives and future potential, while fundamental challenges remain unresolved. Customer needs, execution quality, product-market fit, and employee retention often receive less attention than they deserve. Sales execution remains a concern, and product development struggles to keep pace with customer requirements and market expectations. Internal politics can play an outsized role in decision-making, and employees quickly learn that raising concerns or questioning direction may not always be welcomed. This discourages honest feedback. Perhaps most telling is the tendency to treat departures as isolated events rather than symptoms of broader issues. The same problems resurface, and the same cycle continues. ***Anyone considering joining should conduct thorough due diligence. Speak with current and former employees across multiple departments. Pay attention to turnover, leadership tenure, morale, and the consistency between what is promised during recruitment and what employees experience after joining.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review. You named something important: Bear has many talented, committed people who care deeply about the mission. We agree that people are one of the strongest parts of this company. We also understand your point that talent alone is not enough if the organization around them is not operating with the clarity, consistency, and accountability they need. The concerns you raised around turnover, changing priorities, execution, customer focus, and whether employees feel safe raising concerns are serious. We do not want to dismiss them or treat them as isolated feedback. As Bear grows, we have to keep strengthening how we make decisions, communicate direction, listen to employees, and hold leaders accountable for both results and retention. That work matters just as much as building great products. If you are open to it, we would genuinely welcome a conversation to better understand your experience and where you believe we have the most room to grow. Feedback like this is hard to read, but it is useful if we are willing to learn from it.
