Fantastic coworkers, excellent benefits, management seriously out of touch
Pros
HQ is gorgeous, meals and benefits are highly competitive, friendly and fun coworkers. Very cool product and lots of good perks.
Cons
Classic mismanagement and poor communication between teams. The company has grown so fast that there is a distinct lack of cohesiveness. Middle management is extremely invested in making themselves and their own IPTs look successful to upper management, to the detriment of cross-IPT collaboration and ultimately the product. Priorities are confusing, unclear, and conflicting. No one really seems to have a clue what the big picture schedule is other than "certify the damn aircraft". You are unlikely to get any real help or feedback from management if you are struggling. They will show you the door without warning rather than implement any form of PIP. Joby is racing head first to the edge of a cliff on a rocket fueled by $100mil+ quarterly spending. I hope they succeed, but I'm not holding my breath. Such is life in the cutthroat tech startup world.
