Pros
>Inspiring mission to decarbonize regional air travel. >Clear category leadership in an overlooked market segment. >Brilliant, driven colleagues; many from Tesla, SpaceX, Rivian, ABL, LA legacy aerospace, and top engineering schools - Stanford, Illinois, Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley, and UCLA. > Tons of autonomy, you’re trusted like an adult and given as much responsibility as you can take > Huge opportunity to make impact, super fast-moving environment > Great fit if you miss the scrappiness if you're at a Tesla/SpaceX and stakes of an earlier-stage company > All-in culture, aerospace is challenging and takes real commitment, but incredibly rewarding > Tangible product and clear progress toward a pretty bold goal > Exciting year ahead - new facility, flight of X1 prototype
Cons
> Transfer for HQ from Sweden to LA tough but the right move for the company - great people in Gothenburg but LA is ground zero for aerospace, EV industrial talent and US is largest regional aviation market > Growing startup stuff, priorities shift, processes are maturing > Often confused for an eVTOL, which it's not (conventional aircraft)
