Pros

-inspiring company goals. -the ROC is awesome. -unusually great 401k benefits. -some real geniuses and amazing pilots work here. -well funded, lots of opportunities to learn as you go. -the company events are actually pretty fun. lots of giveaways!

Cons

-half of leadership is useless. lots of “what does this person even do?” plenty of people who supposedly have decades of experience are in way over their heads. -some of c-suite are approachable and trusting, others are looking for a fight and want to micromanage your entire life. each leader has different messaging, so it often feels like they don’t talk to each other -onsite HR team is great, but HR leaders are disconnected from reality and waste lots of time on nonsense. they make such a big deal of being in person yet they are all remote… what a joke. -employee-driven company scores (ENPS) have been falling for 3 years straight and the same team runs HR! they fail to manage culture and keep current employees happy. too much of a focus on hiring new employees vs. nurturing the staff onsite. lots of our best engineers are leaving. -zero work-life balance on most teams. -office is reminiscent of the “office space” movie, straight out of the ‘90’s. some lucky employees even get to work in a trailer from the same era (with no bathrooms or running water).

Pros

I believe the company as a whole is a solid organization with meaningful work and strong potential. There are talented people here. Executive leadership appears invested in growth and performance.

Cons

The company is still relatively new, and long-term stability and structure are still developing.
