      Pros

      For the moment, Kespry is at the right time and place for UAS. Buoyed by the collapse of some of their competitors, the available market is growing and any real competition appears to be shrinking. Recent strategic partnerships also promise a lift in marketing and visibility for the company and its products. The homegrown hardware is quite impressive and can rival most any competitor. Staffed (for the moment) by some very smart people, they can do most anything they want in the aerial intelligence domain.

      Cons

      Kespry is a cluster of mis-management. In true start-up form, the initiatives to keep the company alive can best be summed up as, "everything, all at once." There is no single direction or strategy that anyone in management can point to and articulate a clear vision of what it means to succeed. Morale is in the toilet as more and more personnel find the exit. To suggest that the personalities are "strong" would be an understatement. Unless you cherish the opportunity to be micro-managed and second-guessed, this is probably not the place for you. Diversity? HR? Non-existent. This is an autocracy. Decisions, especially those made in the software domain, are often myopic and clouded by a "not invented here" mindset that prevents any real advancement and innovation.

      Thank you for your feedback. While we believe that our growth and customer success points to a different picture of the organization, your points regarding focus are important. The drone industry presents many opportunities to innovate, but for a growing company, it is important to focus on what will scale, which is something we are increasing our efforts to do – including increasing visibility and accountability across teams. Additionally, we have committed to adding HR as a key function in the company.

      Pros

      We have great people, open and caring leadership and a positive remote culture. I appreciate the efforts of management to hear employees out, share vision and communicate openly. It finally feels we are all rowing together and in the same directions. Sure, there are day to day issues but overall, I find that there is an employee focused culture that is rare at tech companies. I love working with my team and also enjoy collaborating cross functionally.

      Cons

      I do feel we need a more detailed and focused strategy and roadmap shared to further drive our goals and outcomes. However, I also know I can reach out to my manager and our CEO any time to have my concerns and questions addressed on this. We have systems and processes that do need to be refined, but considering we are doing A Lot with the size we are, I know that these will develop with time.
