Pros

Good quality of life and work balance. Great coworkers (for now).

Cons

CEO has become so disconnected following an influx of external hires to middle/upper management, he's too busy chasing investors around these days. The culture we used to have is gone, caput. Every team is running lean and nobody seems to care to fill necessary roles. Zero opportunities for advancement or continuing education. Consoling a coworker in literal tears is not out of the norm these days. Compensation is a joke, we just now received 401k's with ZERO matching. Just about everyone is updating resumes/job hunting.

Pros

The team here is passionate about building the category-defining drone company. It's great to work side by side with talented, hard-working people that take ownership of their work, express humility, and respect one another. There are countless opportunities to learn and grow, and it's even more exciting that it's in such a new industry with huge potential. Dan, the CEO and founder of DroneBase, is by far the best leader I've had the privilege of working for/with. I can't say enough good things about him and the rest of the leadership team at DroneBase.

Cons

Working at a fast-paced startup isn't for everyone. Personally, I have no cons to share, but some people may not be looking for the amount of responsibility or autonomy you will be given at DroneBase. You need to be a self-starter and a leader in your own right. If you need your hand held, look elsewhere.
