review headline - Anonymous employee Skydio Employee Review

5 star review because I like working here but these are my honest opinions. *disclaimer: not necessarily pros or cons, just observations and opinions* 1. superstar founders. ex-mit/ex-google wing. adam must be silicon valley's most understated ceo. no frills and near robotic-level competence both company- and media-facing. abe is even less frills. will not hesitate a moment to call you out if you're wrong. most outside of sw likely don't even know who matt is. 2. competent leadership. they care, but we're moving too fast for them to fix everything all at once ;-) 2. unmatched product. no real competitor in the us. autonomy stack and team is world-class. 3ds, cloud, dock will be game-changers. fear of china-based dji = larger piece of military pie. 3. sincere efforts made regarding employee engagement. wellness classes, happy hours, company fly days, part 107 training. 4. hard push into a variety of sectors = increase in business + profit 5. not a micro-managing environment, complete opposite. employees thrown into the trenches day 1 and are told sink or swim. great for those who are proactive, who can work with little direction, who are not afraid of taking initiative. not great if you need hand-holding. 6. high standard of excellence, but comes at a cost. if you want a 9-5 this is not the place for you. not necessarily bad but there is a lack of honest conversation around wlb.
