Pros

I'm going to do my best to be positive along with the negative, that way whoever reads this takes this review serious. Also note the positive reviews were all done around the same time. They asked us employees to post good reviews. Okay so here we go. In the beginning there was excitement. The office is amazing with a pool table, beer and snacks stocked. There was a yacht kickoff celebration and monthly fun team get togethers. The company held their official kickoff party in October 2016. By December 2016 the company culture had done a 180 and we'll get to that. Here are some additional pro's if you do decide to work here. Decent pay and normal office hours. "Unlimited vacation" even though nobody really had taken advantage of that yet. (it's really so they don't have to pay you all of your vacation/sick/personal days when they terminate you, but we'll get to that) Younger professionals and people are generally friendly

Cons

Okay this is really why I am writing this review. To make sure you understand the risks of seeking employment with this company. This company is poorly run and started with the CEO making terrible decisions. The first major mistake was the CEO was unrealistic about how he could grow his company and he hired too many people. His failure led to layoffs of about 6-8 people in December 2016, when the company was just starting. After laying them off he held a meeting and talked about "A-team players" and how he believed that everyone still there were "A-team players."What's sad is that he had moved some of these people from out of state only to fire them in 2 months. His worst move for the culture however was creating a glorified leadership position and hiring somebody who was the complete opposite of what he wanted his company to embody. 5 sales people were fired that first week. As of June it's down from 13 to 2 sales reps because nobody wants to work under the leadership. The culture is destroyed. Sales wasn't the only position to take a hit. About 6 employees in Sales, Operations and Developers were laid off again in January less than a month after the first layoffs. The CEO hid in his office as everyone was told they were being let go. Again the CEO held a meeting afterwards and talked about "A-team players", but at this point people weren't believing in him. The trust was gone. If you do choose to work for this company, know that your job is never safe and leadership doesn't have any investment in you. They recruited people from all over. Some left jobs with ten years tenure and then were laid off 6 weeks in. They did this to a lot of people. The worst treatment however was to the most respected guy in the company who worked 12-16 hour days for months as they built up the company. Once the company was on good footing, they demoted his position. Then just recently they moved him out of his office and now make him sit at the operations desks. If a CEO can do that to his best and most loyal employee, then what do you think can happen to you? Take the job only if you're desperate, but do not let them recruit you from your current job. There will be a much better stepping stone than Airspace if you just say NO!

Full of promise, ultimately disappointing

Pros

Beautiful office, lots of smart people to work with. Engineering's culture was pretty solid, and work/life balance was pretty good.

Cons

No proven track record(s) in leadership, which shows and can be felt in every part of the process of working at Airspace. I've never worked with more passive-aggressive people in my life. I felt like I was becoming a shell of myself after only about 6 months. It's very common to hear someone be praised enthusiastically, just to be dogged on minutes later. It made me feel very insecure about myself, knowing the same was likely happening to me. There's a huge lack of true sincerity in almost all praise I encountered or observed. There is very little constructive feedback. There are weird politics coming to a boiling point, and the lack of diversity in leadership is doing nothing to help the situation. The business also has no clear direction and they can't seem to learn from mistakes they are making over, and over, and over again.

Pros

Good co-workers. It started out with a lot of little perks like a company laptop (mac-book pro) and Iphone, as well as, free lunches and car washes. But that soon changed

Cons

Start-up company that will be luck to be in business by the end of 2017. Do not apply for a job at this company as your employment status will be day to day.
