Horrendous work culture, can lead to permanent breakdown / loss of passion - Robotics Software Engineer FlytBase Employee Review

This is probably the most dishonest review that we have ever come across. So, let me take some time to address each comment made in this review: "Exploiting young talent in the name of passion" -- at FlytBase we are building the world's leading drone autonomy platform. A quick Google search will help you evaluate the quality of work and the impact that is creating at a global level. It is not clear why would you consider anyone participating in such amazing and exciting work as being "exploited". "Embarrassingly low compensation when compared with the amount of time you put in - zero time for personal life with expectations to be in the office even on weekends / night time - absolutely no regard for mental health / well being of employees" -- FlytBase offers one of the best cash-compensations in the industry with no hidden/discretionary components to bloat up the CTCs. We have zero interest in playing those games. On top of that, we have a very active ESOP program, and a large number of team-members (everyone with a long term alignment) are a part of that. This ensures that everyone's interests are aligned, and we all share the rewards/upside as the company makes progress. "works on standard hire and burn employees out model" -- This is complete BS. Please talk to any of our team members who are doing world-class product development and take immense pride in their work to understand the true spirit that drives us all at FlytBase. "discussions of openly not hiring female engineers because they "won't put as much effort as guys do"" -- This is hitting below the belt, and makes zero sense, given the number of amazing and talented women team-members at FlytBase. All of them are a part of FlytBase not because of their gender, but because they are the best people for the job that they are responsible for. They are here on their merit, and they are making amazing contributions to the team and making all of us proud. Again, please feel free to reach out to any of our women colleagues to get the true picture, instead of trusting an anonymous comment. We take our "culture" quite seriously. Of course, we are not a fit for everyone, and we don't intend to be so. We are an amazing place for people who wish to genuinely pursue their passions and want to completely immerse themselves in building great products with amazing team members. We are a really BAD fit for people who treat work as a punishment, and prefer to work by the clock. This is similar to how a given phone cannot be a great fit for everyone. Some phones are designed for great battery life, and others are designed to be extremely light weight. Expecting a phone with a great battery life to be the lightest phone on the market is a wrong expectation to have. While one phone will be a perfect fit for someone, and same phone will be a complete misfit for someone else. Same is the case with a company/team and an individual. We are amazing place for a certain set of people (passionate about building world-class products and having fun while doing it), and are a complete misfit for another set of people (looking to do regular/monotonous work for a certain number of hours everyday).
