Pros

Free lunch and snacks, Really!!!

Cons

High turnover rate; hire fast and fire faster culture. Unstable management, constantly changing directions. Fearful work environment with frequent layoffs across all departments. Unsafe and flawed SkyOS system, with severe consequences for raising concerns. Nobody knows what they are doing, just trial and error. Unreliable job security; detrimental to career growth. Relocation for the job can result in significant personal disruption without long-term job stability. If you're considering a position here, I strongly urge you to reconsider. Despite truly vested into projects and extensive experience, I was let go without valid reason. The company hires aggressively and fires even faster, leading to a constantly changing workforce. They lured me to relocate me and my family, only to provide minimal severance upon termination to avoid legal issues. Attitude against experienced employees is rampant. I witnessed numerous colleagues, from janitors, security to directors, being walked out regularly, creating a culture of fear. Management is erratic, frequently changing project directions and deadlines. Over two years, they've failed to deliver a basic safe functional system, and anyone who points out flaws is at risk of termination. The company's enticing salary offers are not worth the instability and stress. Accepting a job here may severely harm your career. Do not be swayed by the high offers; the reality is a toxic, unpredictable work environment.

Pros

- A lot of empty parking spots - Amazing lunch that you can eat while working - Nice team bonding events due to sharing similar situations - Extremely fast paced environment with minimal oversight - CEO is a great salesman and can convince investors that the product is viable

Cons

- High turnover rate. Employees with bad attitudes get little to no repercussions because they don’t question management and follow instructions like robots. The good employees that voice out their concerns about rushed timelines get fired on the spot or PIP’ED. - CEO is extremely paranoid, erratic, and worried more about perception than the product itself - Managers are incompetent and force unrealistic deadlines which leads to putting people in danger - Work environment is very cliquey. If you don’t blindly follow your manager’s orders then don’t expect a promotion - Culture does not value integrity or safety. Those who challenge the perception or got hired too quickly get fired - This is a high stakes, look over your shoulder, cut-throat environment. If you don’t fit in, you will get fired like everyone else
