Propeller reviews

The hype is real - Amazing people supporting and building great products with a no-bullshit customer centric approach - no vaporware in sight. Not everyone is obsessed with drones and dirt (and that’s fine), but working on solving such big challenges with such talented people makes it a pleasure to go to work every day. People enjoy working with and for each other and so the feeling of teamwork is real, there’s very little ‘that’s not my job’ mentality. The amount of transparency is very, very good. Regular updates to the entire company about in-depth financial health and metrics, burn rate, big misses, learnings with no spin. “We got this wrong,, this is why, this is what we learned, and this is what we’re going to do going forward”. It’s cool tech! Drones, heavy equipment, 3d maps (now on mobile!), lidar, machine learning and manufacturing our own hardware devices. It’s fun to work on and it solves actual problems for our customers. They trust, and then rely on our solutions to make significant operational and financial decisions, which is extremely rewarding. Every time Propeller needs evolution from Rory, he finds a way to climb to that next level as a founder and leader, and where he falls short in an area, he finds high-quality people to fill those gaps. It’s been truly impressive watching his growth over the better part of a decade and makes me extremely confident in Propeller’s ability to navigate whatever challenges are thrown its way. Extremely accessible CEO to the entire business and 100% cares about his people. Similar vein to the above - there is a rock solid desire to improve in every area of the business. Propeller has much to learn and is far from perfect, but any time an issue or problem comes up, it is acknowledged, it gets the deep dive treatment and steps are made to improve it. Doesn’t solve everything, but the effort and care is evident. It’s a really fun place.
