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.

About Us

Corporate Overview

We make computers that can see!

Cognex is the largest, most successful and most recognized global player in industrial machine vision. Using advanced optics, image sensors, and artificial intelligence software Cognex vision and ID systems capture an image, then analyze it to make sense of what’s being seen.

Cognex vision helps companies improve product quality, eliminate production errors, lower manufacturing costs, and exceed consumer expectations for high quality products at an affordable price.

Typical applications for machine vision include detecting defects, monitoring production lines, guiding assembly robots, and tracking, sorting and identifying parts. More than a billion products are made each day using Cognex vision.

Cognex serves an international customer base from offices located throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, and through a global network of integration and distribution partners. The company is headquartered close to Boston in Natick, Massachusetts, USA.

Cognex is publicly traded on the Nasdaq stock market under the symbol CGNX.
