Pros
In general if you're positioned well, there can be a lot of autonomy and freedom to work on what you want at Skydio. Interesting opportunity to explore new areas and quite flexible on the type of work you can do.
Cons
If you aren't positioned well you might get kind of stagnant career-wise. A few people make all the decisions and if you aren't aligned with them you might get stuck. Also if you are aligned well then your work life balance can get pretty bad. Also though it markets itself as a multi-use enterprise drone, the major use cases are police and defense so would be good to make sure you are aligned with the company.
