Pros
The people at this company are great, and the remote work culture is excellent! I have had so many opportunities to learn from smart, technically skilled people. Everyone here seems truly passionate about the product and the industry. What really stands out is the company's investment in employee development. They not only offer a technology budget, but also pay a generous bonus if you pass your drone pilot exam, which is unique and awesome. Depending on your team, your manager can be very invested in your success and professional growth as well.
Cons
Over the past few years, leadership repeatedly communicated positive financial performance and market leadership to employees, consistently citing growth and stability. However, the company recently implemented a significant reduction in force, impacting 30-40% of employees, including both recently hired individuals and high-performing team members. This decision raises concerns about either mismanaged growth or the company's overall financial standing. Although the product team has consistently delivered on the product roadmap, there appears to be a lack of strategic direction from the C-suite. Additionally, the company recently changed health plans to a significantly less favorable option, which was presented to employees as an upgrade. Turnover rates, particularly within the sales team, remain high, suggesting ongoing issues with defining required skills and sales strategies. Due to ongoing instability and the size of the company, career trajectory is unclear.
