Pros

All team members were exceptional, dedicated (far more than they were given credit for) and committed to their job like no other company I've worked in.

Cons

Unfortunately all this dedication and commitment wasn't seen and rewarded by the owner who needs to learn how to deal with people in the first place. No company will succeed with a director who looks down on his employees and treats them like they are worthless. This is leadership 101. Also, being the boss doesn't mean you know everything. So be humble. When your employees have master degrees in Engineering, that means they probably know a lot more on the subject than you. That's why you hired them in the first place! Listen to them and take their opinions in consideration!

Pros

It's definitly a very good concept, and a market that will sonner or later rise up to a large scale.

Cons

Well i have to be completly honest and also fair, Quarkson has been very publicized in the last months but most of the commentarys and the statements that are being distributed by the media don't correspond with the truth. The drone itself lacks a proper project within its constrution, and i think that anyone with proper aeronautical knowledge will notice that this thing will not fly. It's very sad for everyone, that helped in the construction of the drone, within the conditions that are exposed in the other reviews, to see now, in the news, like this is something amazing that will revolutionize the aerospace market, and the distribution of internet. I can understand that for the begining you need to make it as cheap as possible, but there are limits, we cannot forget that this is supposed to be an UAV that has the capability to travel around the world. There was a great team, working in this company and building the Drone, but everyone of them left the company with nothing but bad things to say about the work conditions offered and the manager, you can clearly see the reviews below. There was a lack of respect and apreciation for the work and knowledge of this employees. Believe it or not the positive reviews that are exposed here are defenitly made by the manager itself.
