Very confusing place to work

Pros

Rockstar status in the aviation world. Very well received. Awesome work from home capabilities. The laid back atmosphere was also nice.

Cons

THere was an overwhelming sense of disorganization. Onboarding was a mess. Showed up for my first day to locked doors and no one knew I was coming. Sat in the break room for hours until someone showed up that even knew my name. Then during my tenure, people would just get fired. When speaking with these people, most had no idea what had happened. The place has a cliquish environment. Went to many trade shows (on my own time) and felt like an outsider. The two founders could not be more different. That's ok...except one is very condescending and promotes this cliquish mentality.

Zero Work Life Balance

Pros

Competitive pay and employee benefits are strong. Perks include office snacks and modern furniture like electronic standup desks.

Cons

Micromanaging, debilitating and toxic management behavior. There is a lack of respect and confidence in employee’s ability to make decisions that stem from leadership. It is difficult to please management as their needs change often. Multiple people in leadership with conflicting directives to employees—little communication amongst each leader before requests are made, so work also requires investigative skills to make sure the ask is actually still required. That said, management will continue to want more: more work, more hours, more roles you can take over. No respect for employees’ time off nor family life. Time requested off or vacation is often disrupted with Slack messages and emails asking for work to be done or where work is located. There is an underlying expectation to answer messages at all hours of the day/night. A high-pressure environment with little reward at the end of every hurdle. HR is CEO’s wife—in other words, HR "department" is a useless source for actual employee issues.

Poor Management

Pros

Great location in Maine, could be a really great technology company. Wonderful people at the "worker" level.

Cons

Extremely narcissistic management, making real advances in the company impossible. Their navigation head is known to be confrontational, but nothing is done about it.
