Great company to work for

7/31/2023 -

Pros

Great culture and overall work environment

Cons

Career opportunities are there, but it takes awhile to move up leading them to lose good employees

Our sense of belonging is core to our culture, and it pulls its energy from our highly engaged workplace. We have an opportunity to embrace, reflect, and support our differences by connecting with each other in new ways. 

Cognex is excited to introduce the launch of Cognex Cares. This is a new Cognoid-powered initiative to enhance our culture in three areas: Corporate Giving, Community Engagement, and Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging.
