Pros

Snacks, free food, and a modern tech stack they use. Decent pay.

Cons

People and Culture. Management holds grudges for months over minute issues that were easily fixed. Management often transfers blame to subordinates. My manager held a grudge on me for months for not camelcasing my variable names in my first Pull Request I ever did for the company. Management has 0 planning ability, thus engineers are forced to manage themselves such creating your own tickets at the beginning of each 2-3 week sprint. Management castigates you if you forget a minute conceptual detail, despite lacking basic concepts in Math, Stat, or Programming. I have wasted so much time explaining basic statistics to my manager who had an Engineering Master's. They talk about "saving lives," but there are many other drone companies out there that are more advanced than what is being made here.

Pros

Awesome culture where everyone is a team across the company. Accelerated career growth opportunities, with the chance to work with very talented individuals on unique products the company is at the forefront of. Above average compensation packages for hardware engineers.

Cons

Can be high pressure at times, but often results in positive experience for the individual. Some long hours, but nothing extreme.
