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)
