Skydio reviews

-I joined Skydio right out of college because I wanted a job that was like my project team. College project teams are small and the role of each student can be critical. I loved that because I'm most motivated and excited when I can see my influence on the project -- when my piece of it is sizable and I get to be involved in decisions that will affect how the whole product works. Skydio has absolutely met this expectation. -Skydio is built on making you more powerful at your job and challenging you to take on more responsibility. I don't think this is written anywhere, but it's clear in how we do things. As a product design engineer, I work on all stages of creating our products -- early-stage architecture and detailed design and prototyping through manufacturing efficiency improvements. I appreciate this full-view of a product cycle, and I think it makes me better at my job. -Skydio is filled with people who are all-stars. They are incredibly effective at what they do, and quite often are known in their field. This is likely the case with many companies, independent of my biased opinion that Skydio is unique. The key thing at Skydio is that all these brilliant people are humble. I love the culture that creates.

Lots of interesting projects to be done, and plenty of opportunity to have ownership of entire components. Emphasis on mentorship and growth. Many people (including the founders) started out inexperienced and grew into their current role. Adding to the above, everyone across engineering, pm, marketing, etc is incredibly capable and reliable (but also busy). Company is growing rapidly and likely to be successful in the future. The product is interesting and fun, you're able to borrow a drone to fly on weekends. Despite being a startup, leadership has a mature and nuanced attitude. Teams can put in bursts of effort when necessary, but the focus is on sustainability and work/life balance.
