Pros

If you want to work in a place with a team of genuinely engaged people who care about the mission they are performing AA is the place. It's easily the most lovely place I have worked in a 20-year career as a designer. A really strong mission that, if it succeeds (and I believe it will), will change the UK and the world When I was AA I always got the impression they genuinely cared about the staff and did their best to treat them fairly and give a good work/life balance. If you like a challenge and are self-motivated, you will do well at AA, and there is always ways you can help if you are so minded, if your not motivated, though and looking for an easy ride, it is probably not the place for you.

Cons

Because AA is a VP-funded start-up, the benefits aren't amazing. However, they do the best they can with what they have. The drone ecosystem is still developing in the UK, not helped by the CAA, so it can be a challenging and frustrating field. It depends on how much you like trying to change the world for the positive (like I do).

Pros

Having worked within the company for a number of months I can safely say that I am still excited to come into work each morning. The CEO and COO both encourage openness and transparency in a way that I haven't witnessed in other organisations. There are company-wide meetings every Friday to announce any developments and take questions from the team about work-based matters or concerns. Personal matters are dealt with compassion and discretion from all members of the senior management team and flexible working options are provided to those with families or other commitments. There is a clear sense of comradery across the whole company, which creates a strong family-orientated atmosphere. The team is varied with very specialised skill-sets, forcing everyone to work together or to lend a hand when required, giving a great sense of job-satisfaction and purpose.

Cons

Working within an emerging industry means that employees need to be dynamic and able to adapt quickly to new strategies. While this creates an exciting and positive atmosphere for many, some may find this difficult to deal with - particularly if they have a background in a larger organisation or prefer a more regimented and structured approach.
