My experience at Liquid Robotics was short lived for many reasons. - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Liquid Robotics: Mitarbeiterbewertung

I enjoy working at LR even though it continues to have a hard time growing itself. Now that LR has moved from CA to VA it is doing a good job trying to hire the right fit people for the jobs needed. Most people hired are great and have a really good attitude towards the job. The product is amazing and has so much potential. Management has the right idea and a good take on where the future for the product is heading. I enjoy the comradery we are starting to build around our brand. Everyone identifies and is proud of their contributions. This day in age what matters to me the most is that the company that I work for cares about me and what I can add. I feel my manager appreciates my input and values my contributions. Benefits are good and I have great flexibility so I can take care of things at home when needed etc. Having every other Friday off is the best. 9/80 rules and vacation policy is generous. In big companies often you are just another drop in the bucket. At LR you are part of a small dedicated team and you have direct impact. I like that.

Being a start up company is difficult. Often times things appear uncoordinated and priorities shift often. You have to be willing to do that and work in that kind of environment. Processes need to be put in place to create order. The company is actively working on that currently. A big part of the company is working remote which brings challenges but it is a great benefit. You have to be self motivated and make sure you are visible or you get forgotten. At HQ in Herndon VA and at the HI location this is is easier because people are local and have face to face time more often.

There are a few middle managers and many lower level employees who are a pleasure to work with and learn from. It’s not enough to keep you there, however.

No training opportunities (they haven’t turned a profit in a few years, you will get turned down if you put in a request for any training opportunities that cost money). The CEO and Leadership Team (with the sole exception being the new Head of Engineering) is inept and out of touch. They have no idea what their mission is (their focus is scattered and it is reflected in recent customer evaluations) and the “why” behind doing what they’re doing. Employee morale is at an ALL time low and absolutely nothing has been done to address it. No opportunities for growth -including no promotions or raises. No diversity. HR
