Pros

Product is incredible, if you like drones. People will think your job is cool.

Cons

Only the Federal Team and SLED Team seem to be holding up well. However, if you're considering a role in the channel or enterprise sectors, proceed with caution. The leadership there is utterly clueless and lacking in experience, which is painfully evident. The absurdly high quotas they assign are nothing short of a joke, unless you're the unfortunate punchline working under them. Employee morale is disregarded entirely, with dismissals happening without any semblance of due process. They deceive you about average performance levels, luring you in only to yank the ground from beneath your feet once you're onboard. Trust me, there are plenty of better opportunities out there. This place is a total disaster in every imaginable aspect. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.

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.
