Pros

The people really make the job, and people I worked with came from a variety of backgrounds. Not everyone went to an Ivy League school. Drones are hot and the product is actually fun to work on.

Cons

You won't get paid what you're worth to satisfy their unreasonable expectations. The office is noisy and there's very little personal space. Their core business is focused on one customer. Your life and future is dependent on that customer's happiness. Your days are spent in meetings and your nights are spent trying to satisfy senior management. Management is extremely reactive and employees have to manage up or succumb to long hours and weekends satisfying unreasonable expectations. The business is extremely unfocused, selling many product lines simultaneously. That means you're always building the next best thing without ever really finishing the last awesome thing you started.

Pros

Enjoyed all my time at Skycatch. From working with the CEO on down the line to all our key customers and partners, it was a wonderful work environment and great culture.

Cons

Enterprise Drone market place is somewhat dominated by DJI (a $20B+ Chinese based company) who have roughly 80% of the market share in the US.
