Pros

- Everyone seems very positive when you're first hired. However, this is a façade. - They praise your work in front of others... until they criticize it behind your back and you hear about the criticism from higher-ups.

Cons

BEWARE!!!! They have just laid off more than 10% of the company. They are NOT doing well financially. They were not profitable in 2022 and will continue to lay people off because their 2023 situation is no better. - Gaslight, Gaslight, Gaslight. This company has taught me to keep receipts and records for every task, project, and every little thing I work on. There are several people that have taken credit for my work and have received praise and even promotions off of my completed projects. They have been several times that myself or colleagues have been thrown under the bus because "leadership" would rather protect their title instead of owning up to their mistakes. What kind of company has "leadership" that never takes ownership and throws all the "little fish" in the company, under the bus? - You can't have an open discussion with anyone in a leadership position. They want you to do work EXACTLY how they want you to do it and are not open to ideas that might make the work more efficient or effective. - Lack of Diversity - a lot of employees do not respect women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, or anyone that is not a heterosexual male. - No work/life balance even if you're a salaried employee. If you don't respond to your Slack messages in under 10 minutes, then be prepared to have management breathing down your back! -Good luck trying to move up in this company. It's all about politics here. They want you to smile and nod in order to move up. The second you share a differing opinion or express that another idea might be better, they will NOT like you anymore. - This company is claiming to offer a "green" / environmentally-friendly shipping option. This is not backed by evidence or science. This is a desperate attempt to impress potential stakeholders in order to receive more funding.

Pros

The product has potential in the space, if the teams could delivery on the given expectations they lay for themselves.

Cons

It seems like there is a special group of people derailing the progress of the entire company at Airspace. I have never seen people specifically targeted in their roles, (for making progress and great contribution), and groups collaborating to effectively get the targeted person to leave, or be fired from the company. There is a lot of talk of progress, proper culture, psychological safety, and when you arrive, in action- you are confronted with the exact opposite, inappropriate behavior. I think we all wanted to believe in this company and it's leadership, then the vast majority of leadership was lost or let go, all executives that were making a big difference in the trajectory- it crushes the overall well being of the employees. If you're looking for any form of reasonable expectations, healthy collaboration, or work like balance, you will not find that here. There is upward mobility, because the turnover rates are astronomical.

The Airspace team always welcomes feedback from all team members (past and present). As with many startups, this is a fast-moving, and fast-changing environment -which is not for everyone but can be an exciting journey for those who want to make an outsized impact! Here are some key facts about Airspace and our culture that we are proud of: - Our team has expanded by 60% in the US and opened 3 international offices since 2020. This explosive growth has opened up positions across all functions and at every level in Southern California, Texas, Netherlands, Germany, and Sweden. - We know that this period of high growth has also accompanied a period of high change during a global pandemic. Despite these challenges, our team members’ passion and spirit of collaboration have directly driven the success of the company while also creating a healthy culture that is uniquely Airspace (e.g., Best Places to Work 2021). - People make the difference at Airspace and we are committed to expanding thoughtfully with a people-first perspective. We are building a team that is excited about our mission and passionate about our one-team core value. When this isn't the case, we have direct, transparent conversations with clear action items. - To foster a safe, fun, and productive workplace where team members are able to bring their authentic selves every day, we have a zero-tolerance policy for gossip. - We value communication as key to surfacing and resolving team member concerns. We’d rather have an open conversation to resolve a situation than ignore it; we recognize that takes a lot of effort and that it is not everyone's style. - When you join our diverse, international team, you are joining a pioneer in tech-enabled logistics that celebrates difference and career development (women are 38% of our team and 33% of management). We celebrate wins, fail forward, collaborate freely, and communicate openly. We are committed to work autonomy, pay equality, and ongoing development at an individual level. If the Airspace experience is something that resonates with you, we encourage you to explore our open roles!

Pros

There is unlimited vacation, and the base salary is good (but dont be fooled by that)

Cons

This company lies to you. They turn you and burn sales people. Your goals are unrealistic. I personally know of a sales exc who exceeded goals and was still fired. The senior sales people who have been there the longest have the largest accounts and always get first dibs on anything. I am telling you do not accept a job here! You will be lucky to last a year!
