Worst startup - Recensione dipendente - Senior Mechanical Engineer presso SoftWear Automation

- good work and life balance - lots of tech chat!

- might have an intensive workload when the project deadline is coming

It is an incredibly difficult task that we are tackling and the disappearance of the textile manufacturing industry in the US highlights this fact. I am lucky to work with some of the most talented people in robotics, vision and project management to turn this tide. Fortunately, we have some of the worlds best known brands that believe what we do and have begun scaling sewing here in the US. This technology isn't just another SaaS company trying to find a tiny corner to plant a flag. This company is reshaping the manufacturing map and creating textile manufacturing jobs here in the USA. I think that's important work. Working with customers is fulfilling and challenging requiring you to be able to work across functional departments from legal to finance to engineering to project management. The value proposition is straightforward and significant and garners a lot of press attention.

The company is growing rapidly with customers and staff. This places more stress on our time and ability to accomplish milestones. From a sales and marketing perspective, this also greatly increases my time traveling and being away from my family. Additionally, from a management perspective, we require our employees to be very self motivated, but the con is that we don't always have a template for that work. It's something we are actively working on, but thats why we are hiring more great people.
