Pros

Lots of downtime with no pressure while management trips over themselves making basic business decisions.

Cons

Just don't. Hard divisions between internal and contractor staff that are discriminatory. Managers who take advantage of talent and treat them like garbage while climbing the corporate ladder and using the bodies as stepping stones. Very unremarkable product and service, being promoted as the next best thing when it's just a high tech way to deliver cans of coke, ignoring complaints from the public and pretending their systems are safe and private (those cameras on the drones indicate otherwise). Leading staff on with promises of promotion, transition from contract to internal, and that the company is going somewhere. I'm told that in August they renewed most external staff contracts, only to force a shutdown on the day the new contracts came into place, shutting down operations in Australia for a week for "internal upgrades" and then terminating the majority of contracts. Can't wait to get out of here, the top level decisions are cringe worthy.

Pros

- Intelligent, hard working, kind, & empathetic coworkers - Impressive technology that just works - Exciting time to be in an emerging industry - Honest marketing: Wing doesn’t over promise, they market what they have done, not what they want to do. -Good pay, benefits, stock options, reasonable hours, etc.

Cons

- Wing operates in a middle ground between scrappy start up and Google corporation, they are trying to build necessary processes and procedures to mature as a company without bogging down productivity. It’s natural growing pains, but can feel like 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

Pros

Excellent coworkers who are smart, helpful and fun to work with. Wing is solving an array of genuinely challenging problems, and seems to be on a trajectory for success,

Cons

The 'share options' scheme is looking increasingly meaningless. We have paper money, but no guarantee of when we can execute, and if we do it's at a made-up price. Oh, and they might all expire at some point. Immediate management is great, but it gets worse as you go up the tree. I have no clue what some of the executives do. Promotion prospects are poor. Leadership is supposed to be important, but I don''t see many examples of it being shown above me. Priorities shift and change, which is part of a new field, but management needs to reward flexibility more.
