Amazing tech + team, lofty ambitions, no shortage of work.
Amazing tech + team, lofty ambitions, no shortage of work.
Great exec leadership team, fun culture;
Incredibly complex engineering challenges;
Extremely bright and humble coworkers, with very few egos or empire builders.
Typical ambitious startup issues: aggressive timelines, broad scope, and things that rarely feel "done." Rapid growth comes with its own issues, but the org is actively recognizing and resolving these growing pains.
Stay transparent, keep Skydio fun.

Skydio Interview Experiences
Engineering Manager
It was a three-part interview process. The first one was with the recruiter, followed by a software engineering interview that I did not manage to pass. They were both really nice.
Engineering Manager
1 Hr phone screen interview, 1 manager Zoom interview, 2 technical interviews including a live coding session. I believe there was also an onsite that I did not proceed to.
Embedded Software Engineer
It was great overall. Had three phone screens and then moved to Coderpad. The level of difficulty was high; it was a super software-based interview. I expected a bit more hardware/low-level.
