Pros

Free Food, lot of dedicated people & great technology

Cons

- Middle management making themselves look successful to upper management - Priorities are confusing, unclear and conflicting - They will penalize you by making scenarios, will label you with low performance instead of making correction on organization level - They will hire you for specific tasks per job description while they expect you to do other tasks that you have no skill set - Leads are not trained well, instead they will force them to create toxic work environments, shut you down if you have collaboration behaviors - Occasional infighting, bad blood between teams, back-stabbing - Horrible micromanage leaders, they don't listen to their people, horrible stress, kills motivation and encouragement - Culture of fear promotes hiding information - They will promise you initial RSU with number of shares but then they change it to a fixed dollar amount Then, they will show you the door without warning

Pros

The company has a great culture that cares about the health and work/family balance of its employees. The stock incentive is key as it gets all employees involved in hitting the company goals.

Cons

Joby is overspending on headcount and has become bloated and too corporate, considering that they are still pre-revenue. The over hiring is going to backfire as they've had to raise more funds. There are cliques and politics in management.
