Avantages
Modular Robotics makes Cubelets which are robot blocks that teach kids about problem solving, critical thinking, engineering design, and complexity. They are fun and I have never met a kid that doesn't love them!! So that in itself is a huge perk. Working with educators and helping them figure out how they can use these tools to make their classrooms more fun and engaging is another huge perk. Working with a group of 15 smart, cool, savvy coworkers who all bring something different to the table and genuinely care about each is also a benefit of working at this company. There are game nights, holiday themed movie nights, Friday lunches and a variety of other activities where people stay after work to hang out because we all like each other THAT much. Everyone is expected to work hard but in general hours are flexible. If you need to work 7-4 one day or 8-6 another, leave for a doctors appointment or head out for another personal reason as long as you are dedicated and getting your work done no one will question it. We also get unlimited time off and it is a company where this is not a perk they dangle in front of you but you can't afford to take off, everyone takes the time they need. In fact we typically are excited as our coworkers get to travel all over the world and bring those experiences back with them. It is nice to work for a small company where everyone has a voice and as an employee everything you do daily helps contribute to the success of the company.
Inconvénients
As a growing company things change rather quickly and sometimes we are all still trying to figure out the best way to accomplish our goals. So that means that you have to be adaptable to change. We are still working on structure and systems so you have to be able to adapt quickly, give suggestions, and be able to contribute. There is a level of jump head first into the deep end that happens here. It is a small company so some of the perks like 401K or HSA don't exist but hopefully as the company continues to grow those things will be offered.
