Avoid this place like the plague

Pros

- Some of the smartest employees as well as motivated people I've ever worked with. - They provided yoga and massages.

Cons

Everything seems to be a giant white lie. It seems like every time someone leaves the company, a big business announcement is announced that eventually goes nowhere. Products take way too long to come to fruition. If someone said in 2014 that Skycatch was one of the top drone companies in the world, yes, that would be true. However, unnecessary spending has drained the company's resources. I'm sure making the YouTube video of an actress singing to one of the drones wasn't too cheap. I wonder how much money was spent going to Nepal to "save lives by mapping sites." Personally, the Nepalis needed resources to survive, not a map of a building that needed to be torn down. At the end of the day, it's not a family, it's a business. Stop telling everyone it is. Everyone's goal is to keep the shareholders and investors happy. Humble, nimble, and reliable is the slogan. Most of the time, it was not nimble, opposite of humble, and products felt reliably broken.

The worst run startup

Pros

There were some really great employees. If you ever have a chance to work with someone that worked at Skycatch they are probably amazing. They were a real community mostly due to the support group we needed to be to deal with the CEO.

Cons

Top down management style. You were constantly being tested for your loyalty by the CEO. Managers were told to push employees to their limits. I watched something that could've been great sink because of the decisions of the CEO. The misuse of money was appalling. All the negative reviews on Glassdoor are real and accurate.

Pros

The only pro is you have a high paycheck

Cons

Unrealistic expectations of Engineering Management. The deals with high profile companies never came to light.
