Pros

FLYR offers good pay and benefits. An interesting product overall.

Cons

Oh where to begin... The competitive pay and benefits do NOT outweigh the pain of working at FLYR. The business is heading in a horrible direction. After multiple rounds of layoffs and questionable spending practices there is a sense of optimism among the execs, but below that, it's dire. We have no idea how things are going in the business. This is a private company where transparency is key. Employees are left in the dark. Who are our established customers? If you can't share that with your employees, there are some major trust issues. The office politics are as morbid. Nepotism seriously damages the morale and makes it feel like merit does not matter anymore. Blatant leadership favoritism keeps the weak employees in and the promising ones to jump ship.

Pros

Work life balance (very few talented employees to check on your work, and hose who can are slacking their way into the sunset)

Cons

Profoundly incompetent (at best) leadership that kept failing at literally everything except burning truckloads of capital into very little product. Until a couple years ago, there was some interesting AI being developed, although layers of incompetence killed the whole effort, and all those employees left or got axed. Luckily (for now), two things kept the business under artificial respiration: deep pocketed investors who presumably cannot afford a public failure, and the deeply legacy nature of most other airline tech vendors.
