Good Work / Life Balance, Zero cutting-edge research - Mechanical Engineer iRobot Employee Review

Absolutely ZERO cutting-edge research.... iRobot for the past 2 years and probably for the next 5 will be focusing on cost-reduction efforts and streamlining their supply line to continue to dominate the RVC market and to compete with Chinese manufacturers that are stealing IP. From a R&D perspective, most interesting research work has stalled. If you are looking for a company that is pushing the boundaries of robotics, this is NOT the company for you. Many opportunities exist here in marketing, supply chain, and business development. The engineering team is slave to Product owners who want to cut cost and the Design team who are focused on selling products to turn profit
