Pros

Skycatch is filled with such genuine team members who exude passion, collaborate together, support one another, all with diverse backgrounds and strengths but common values. I love the challenge that I have working in a new space & with team members who are a pleasure and honor to work with. I am constantly learning something new (which is very important to me in any position I am in) & exercise new skills, which I love. I definitely have the opportunity to grow with this company.

Cons

I knew what I was signing up for when I accepted my offer, and I am still enjoying my work. It is a lot of hours and work, but I really can't imagine not wanting to put in the time - I love my team and I'm proud to get to work with them on such crazy awesome new technology. This is going to change how so much is done.

Pros

The drone industry is booming right now and skycatch has a good opportunity and a slight edge some other start ups in terms of funding, business and the size of the company. The engineers at skycatch are some of the most passionate you can find. Like most small companies, there aren't big processes or very much business overhead.

Cons

The management team seems to think the the company image is more important than actual working products. Many of the features that are showcased on their videos are not currently working and actually maybe years away. Yet potential employees maybe led to believe that they are. An investor may get a "demo" that just shows the easiest parts that are implemented. Everything from the blogs, tweets and talks are designed to create this illusion. You don't get the full scoop until you start working there and realize their IP is not as advanced as you first thought. Employee satisfaction is not an item on this company's list. Working for skycatch is THE award. As a result, the management constantly pushes for late night and weekend work. Crunch time schedules work on a short duration but really burn out employees. Most employees that are hired are not happy with this side of skycatch but deal with it until their equity is vested. This sort of culture trickles down from the top of skycatch. The management isn't very caring for individual situations of the employee and in most cases just very disrespectful.

Pros

Nothing really beats working on UAVs all day. This is an industry that's set to take off and skycatch is a leading company in this space. The office is modern/trendy and ergonomic. Team talent is exceptional as well just as you should expect from a start up. The culture

Cons

The technical aspect of things can be daunting at times but this is a new space so that is expected. The current team is still small and slightly over utilized. Could use a few more days off for the holidays.
