Pros

Pros are - I get my 5 year paid sabbatical soon then I’m out of here

Cons

leadership is inexperienced and engages in clique-ish management, if you’re not in the “in” group, be prepared to not prosper no matter how hard you work No one knows what they are doing Tired of the 3.5 hour long all hands which is basically an Adam praise contest with all his bros and people getting up there to talk about how great their role is for 30 minutes saved with 5 minutes at the end to tell us how the actual product is doing Selling drones to Israel was announced and it made me uncomfortable Don’t get me started on the benefits that cost hundreds of dollars , no real perks, no 401k match , 1 spouse and 2 dependents can cost you upwards of 1700 per month for the cheap plan As someone who has been here years..I do not recomment

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.
