Pros

At Pyka people are very engaged, excited about the future, and eager to help each other. There is a strong sense of community and teamwork. Work life balance is generally kept in check with some hard pushes but time off when needed and no expectation of working consistent long hours. We work on a technically challenging but extremely rewarding project - autonomous electric airplanes that are physically out there in the sky flying every week. Pretty dang cool!

Cons

Startup growing pains, as you might expect, sometimes add inconvenience. Things like growing our facilities, or changing workloads/tasks to accommodate new company goals can be frustrating at times, but also rewarding and a chance to learn new things and broaden your skill set.

- Pyka has the best people and culture I have seen in a very long time - The work here is fun, even when overwhelming - Catered individual lunches every day - Dogs in the office

Cons

- It's a startup, so lots of work, overtime, some long days (which is not a con for those who are excited about their work) - Some involvement in the defence sector
