Pros
  • The work is interesting and challenging, and since it's still a startup, you have the ability to wear a lot of hats and work on all sorts of systems and projects. You're also given a ton of autonomy to make the best decisions and work on the things you want.

  • The people are incredible - Zipline hires a ton of very talented, but also humble people, which makes working on projects fulfilling and enjoyable. I personally have learned a tremendous amount since I started working here. Teammates are also super understanding - there's unlimited vacation and very little micromanagement, so you're given a lot of flexibility as long as you can get the work done.

  • It's the perfect intersection between working on something meaningful (and not just in a contrived way), while also being at the forefront of robotics and technology.

Cons

Not really for the faint of heart, there will be stressful moments and occasionally long hours.

It's also likely not going to be the highest paying job you can get out there, but it's definitely worth it, in my opinion.

Advice to Management

Would be great to see more diversity in leadership and more organization as the company grows, but I'm very optimistic about the future and hope to see the company succeed over the coming years!
