Pros: You get to work on revolutionary tech and lead the change in last mile delivery.

Cons: It is a very fast changing environment with work life balance hard to manage sometimes.

Pros: The environment at Zipline is fast-paced, but the strong cross-functional collaboration facilitates efficient decision-making processes.

Cons: Because the team is located in various parts of the world, you adjust to different time zones.

Pros: Amazing technology. Extremely talented, hard working ICs. Some leaders, like Jo Mardell and Joey Button, are great. They lead with expertise and empathy. Can't say that about others.

Cons: Extreme hero culture. Putting out fires is more valued than preventing them. Very hard to get promoted unless you fit the hero mold and are extremely active/visible to upper management. Only tricks to "fix" things are rebuilding apps from scratch or reorgs. The mass hiring of ex-Musk employees seems to have brought the culture of those companies with them. Intense adoption of AI has led to bugs shipped to production, and isn't leading to any reevaluation of safety of AI developed and quickly reviewed code in a system that controls drones. Wild.
