Pros

Joby is not afraid to really push for the best solution, even when it’s not easy. Great people.

Cons

Technical management is stellar. People management, is not. You have to be a self-starter with a mountain of initiative.

Pros

There are no pros. It's a horrible company

Cons

Management is extremely inexperienced. It's all hype. They've never flown the vehicle with a pilot with the propellers full transitioneed forward. There are zero safety features that will save the plane or it's passengers - i.e. no safety chute, no autorotation, no glide in and land, just fall like a brick and burn when the lithium battery explode. All their talk about safety is just that . . . Talk. So many of the engineers are full of themselves and are primadonna's. They waste money left and right. It's not even a revenue generating company and it has over 1000 employees and they feed all of the employees every day 3 meals a day and they give everyone a Patagonia jacket. The waste money is obscene. Trying to get project level budget approval is next to impossible. They think that they can purchase used equipment and materials from auctions and just somehow make it work. There is no real clear plan. They'll try to make you believe there's a plan but again, it's just hype and they're making it up as they go. So much time and money is spent neddlesly purchasing equipment and materials from auctions and then trying to find places to warehouse it in case we can use it.someday. Seriously weak leadership.
