Pros

There is lunch every Monday catered. Bathroom is close, just outside across the hallway. There is also a game room.

Cons

It's quite shocking to me how upper management can chastise people so easily around here - not fun. In terms of performance, they expect employees to deliver, but have no accountability for their own performance. Given the above, it's quite uninspiring to be working here, especially when they're not all that competent for the title/roles they have.

We regret that you had a negative experience at Stellar. Our goal is to create a productive, fun and stimulating work environment. I personally apologize and we appreciate the time you took to provide your thoughts openly. Yes, we have challenges, but early stage startups often experience changes in direction, and some level of uncertainty. Since you left the company we have made significant strides forward including the following. - We have a well developed strategy to engage operators and corporate flight departments with value added tools. - We have a development partnership with Rockwell Collins which has cemented our strategy and roadmap. - We have a new board of directors, including Dean Donovan and Dave Siegel, with deep industry expertise and an appropriate executive management structure and governance to ensure adherence to the plan. - We have a very strong recruiting plan to bring in top talent, positively influence the team, and grow the company. The evidence of this progress is our recent close of a large Series A round with top tier institutional investors and industry experts. Regards, Tim O'Brien

Pros

The company is set up for success because of its strong leadership, aviation industry know-how, and investors who are in it for the long haul.

Cons

Pay is competitive but could be better. Usual start up pivots are not for everyone.

Pros

- Founders, top management and the board are industry veterans and have a unique insight into the industry. - Challenging problems to solve, top-of-the-tier tech stack. - Collaborative development process, everyone learns from everyone else. - Many opportunities for career growth, you can set your own goals and work towards them. - Suggestions for improvement are well received and legitimate ones are addressed effectively. - Smart, fun people working towards a common goal - Exec team is making a conscious effort to improve communication and transparency across the company.

Cons

Like any small startup, sometimes things change very quickly in some areas and other times not fast enough. This is being addressed, the company is a lot more focused and has clear deliverables for all teams, including the executive team.
