Pros

1) Interesting product. 2) Moderate workload. 3) Flexible / remote working options.

Cons

1) Company relies on investor funding (not cash flow positive, not even close). 2) Staff resignations are far too frequent (including new people) due to financial/management issues leaving your team understaffed. 3) Very early start up issues (Clueless Management/Engineering staff), causing an unstable work environment. 4) You’re pretty much left alone to get work done. It really wasn't a positive to work here.

We are very sorry to hear about an unhappy former employee or independent contractor. Yes, we are definitely a startup reliant on investor funding – we are very lucky to be backed by private investors and private equity firms that believe in our vision and continue to invest as we meet our technical and revenue goals. We are doing some pretty cool stuff, like capturing 360-degree aerial imagery of the entire United States. We are not impervious to experiencing normal startup growing pains and have definitely seen some turnover in the last year and a half with the changing job market from COVID. The majority of our staff has benefited from the freedom to create their own career path and are not expected to follow a micromanaged set of expectations in their role. We strive to keep ALL of our employees happy while giving them the freedom to work in ways that make them most efficient and productive.

Leadership prioritizes trips over employee well-being

Pros

None any longer cause they are out of business.

Cons

Years of loyalty thrown out the window, stomped on and buried. The management never cared about the employees, because the reason we were given as to why is, we had to understand his someone is breathing down their neck to get rid of the company. The management only ever concentrated on trips out of town, conferences and would come back and tell us about all the fun they had but when it came time for raises they never had enough money. Absolutely amazing.

Pros

Great teams Constant team collaboration Non-micromanagement style approach to supervision on the development team Focus on staying positive and taking a healthy work/life balance Management actively communicates things about company progress

Cons

Suffers from what are perceived as startup struggles: Breaking into market shifts in direct (to managements fairness this one is not very often and is communicated well so its not a surprise if it happens) Not sure its directly a con, but looking at the overall reports on salary. It appears that you might be underpaid in relation to the other parts of the team or former team members at your level.
