AgEagle Aerial Systems Reviews

Pros

Good pay Steady paced environment

Cons

No overtime Management wasn’t great

Pros

interestiing technolgoy and growth potential; competetive pay and benefits

Cons

dysfunctional senior management and board without any coherent long-term strategy. A lot of brain drain and those who remain are pretty demoralized.

Pros

Flexible work schedule and PTO

Cons

Leadership didn't seem to understand what it takes to run a hardware company

Pros

AgEagle Aerial Systems is in a unique and emerging industry - Drones and UAS systems and products (autonomous robotics and platforms to support these tools) are still new to the world, but quickly being adopted by commercial industries globally for use in myriad ways - from environmental and agricultural sustainability to mapping and infrastructure applications. So for employees, there is infinite opportunity to grow and learn how these systems are being designed and applied. From aeronautics applications to hardware and engineering design, people looking to build a career in these areas will benefit from the diverse uses and be able to contribute to an industry in high-growth

Cons

Like any newer industry sector, the UAS market is still emerging and therefore constant change and innovation are essential. For pros looking to walk into a job with a clear list of known issues to solve, or a static list of to-dos in traditional hardware or software categories, a role at AgEagle may be too cutting edge and unpredictable. Applicants entering this space need to have an adaptive mindset and innovative spirit because ongoing changes in roles, products, and GTM approaches are inevitable and essential.

Pros

Lots of smart people to learn from, and they are in an exciting set of industries.

Cons

When I was there the company was not a software company, nor do they seem to be one. So the understanding of software engineering is a daily hurdle.

Pros

Free coffee, got a couple complimentary RAM sticks

Cons

While there were more than a few not subtle warning signs that working for this company could be a bad experience, what unfolded over my short stint at this place was the biggest CF I have ever experienced in my life. My first day on the job was spent being mostly ignored by the person who would become my supervisor, and I would spend the majority of the next week working alone in an empty office. I was informed I would receive a work machine, but instead had to use my own nearly decade old dying hand-me-down laptop. It was clear that the job I was hired to do did not exist, my supervisor had little experience communicating expectations to a subordinate, and also seemed to resent being placed in a managerial position. I asked about defining project deadlines at the end of my second week, and was told not to worry about them. I honestly believe these people either had no idea about what to do with me, or had no work for me. I had only one task that resembled what I was told my scope would be, but was actively discouraged from working on it. Instead, my supervisor said I would be doing “data sciencey stuff” later. Why hire a “GIS Data Scientist” if you apparently want something else entirely? My last two weeks were spent performing tasks which fell under a development practice I stated having no experience with in my second interview using tools that either do not exist in or are rarely used within the industry I work in. I had two interviews with this company before I began working here, both lasting around one hour long, and seemingly no one was able to clearly articulate what the duties of this position would actually entail. My advice to anyone considering working here would be to read the risk factors section of the publicly available SEC filing, to take into account the general mood conveyed in reviews posted elsewhere, and think about how much risk you’re personally willing to tolerate working for a company that treats their customers, investors and employees with contempt. If you categorize yourself as any sort of geospatial professional, don’t come anywhere near this place.
