Pros

If you're passionate about drones, AI, or aviation, you will become enthralled by what your coworkers do to bring these things to life. It's a uniquely passionate company; many (if not most) of the people here chose to work here because of the product, and I think those people tend to enjoy their job the most. They've done a good job balancing return-to-work in the post-COVID era. I'm fully remote, but I get out to HQ regularly and feel integral to my team and the company.

Cons

I'm not sure this would be a fun place to work if you cared more about perks, benefits, etc. than about what the company actually does. I don't mean that those things are lacking (they range from fine to very good), but it's more of a "let's do good work and the rewards will follow" than a "we've taken really good care of you, so do good work" culture.

Pros

Free food that is about it.

Cons

Management is very very poor. nepotism referrals no experience or bad experience from small companies. I worked in about a dozen places too. This place takes the cake as the worst management. All their manufacturing lines are designed horribly. Some people don't speak English well here can't communicate ideas. They get all pissed off when you ask questions low EQ if you are trying to understand something deeper. High turnover job they slander you. People joking before the shift about how we all are going to get fired before the start of the shift
