Pros

Great exec leadership team, fun culture Incredibly complex engineering challenges Extremely bright + humble coworkers (very few ego's or empire builders)

Cons

Typical ambitious start up issues - aggressive timelines, broad scope, things rarely feel "done" Rapid growth comes with it's own issues (but the org is actively recognizing and resolving these growing pains)

Pros

In general if you're positioned well, there can be a lot of autonomy and freedom to work on what you want at Skydio. Interesting opportunity to explore new areas and quite flexible on the type of work you can do.

Cons

If you aren't positioned well you might get kind of stagnant career-wise. A few people make all the decisions and if you aren't aligned with them you might get stuck. Also if you are aligned well then your work life balance can get pretty bad. Also though it markets itself as a multi-use enterprise drone, the major use cases are police and defense so would be good to make sure you are aligned with the company.
