Vantaggi

Look, FlytBase is intense in the best possible way - but I want you to know what that actually means before you decide anything. We move fast here. Not startup-fast where everything's chaos, but fast because people actually care about the work and trust each other to figure things out. We're AI-native because we like to ride the wave of new technology and innovation - that's just how we roll with evolving times. But you'll still need to think, create, and solve real problems. Technology doesn't replace judgment - it just removes the boring stuff so you can focus on the real thinking. Fair warning - some decisions might feel sudden from the outside. We do a lot of thinking from first principles and have deep conversations before we land on something. We always share the reasoning in org-wide meetings, but the journey to get there can be intense and hard to summarize quickly. This place is genuinely fun and energizing if you're someone who thrives in a bit of chaos, gets bored by routine, and wants to experiment with new approaches every day. But if you're looking for a place where you do your design work, hand it off, and call it a day, this probably isn't it. The people who love it here get energy from ownership, want to see their work actually impact something real, and yes - there will be intense days or weeks, but we don't mind giving 200% when it's something we genuinely love doing. And if you ever feel overwhelmed, you can always take a break and prioritize yourself because sustainable intensity beats burnout every time. Here's what actually happens: People fix things when they see them broken instead of waiting for someone else. Cross-functional collaboration isn't a buzzword - you'll genuinely work with ops, engineering, whoever, to solve real problems. And when you own an outcome, you end up doing whatever it takes to get there - even if that means stepping outside your usual role. And here's the thing about our product - you won't find design patterns for autonomous drone platforms on Dribbble. You're designing for flight safety, cognitive load under pressure, and critical systems that can't afford to confuse anyone. Some designers find that frustrating because there's no playbook to follow. Others find it thrilling because you get to think from scratch and solve problems nobody's solved before. You have a lot of freedom here; you just need to use it responsibly like an adult. So if you're the type who lights up when solving hard problems and seeing direct impact from your work, this might be exactly what you're looking for.

Svantaggi

Some weeks, you'll feel behind because everyone moves so fast. The learning curve is steep, and you might feel like you're constantly catching up in the beginning.

Vantaggi

Other than getting overworked, there are no pros

Svantaggi

1. They have a bunch of people in their upper management who don't really respect your time and disregard it 2. It has a toxic work culture, there is a lot of blame game that goes on most of the times. Its sad that they don't really look at the positive part most of the times 3. They keep impossible to achieve deadlines which then makes you work until late night 4. They don't really let you live your life outside work. It is believed that mostly everything should revolve around work. 5. Lastly, its mentally traumatizing to work there. And its because of the work culture

We are sorry that you did not enjoy being a part of our team. As a team building global products and challenging the status quo, we are an intense workplace and have a very high bar in terms of pushing ourselves, learning fast and creating a better version of ourselves every single day. This is super-exciting for some people who love to discover something new everyday, and push their limits to build strength. At the same time, some others (who chose to compare it with large/slow orgs) find this fast pace to be unreasonable. FlytBase is not a place for everyone. Think of it like going to the gym - it is painful for some, but super-fun for others. While some people are "excited" to go to the gym everyday, others find that experience "painful" and "exhausting". It is still the same gym. However, people would describe their experience very differently, based on their personal choices/preferences. We wish you the best and hope that you were able to find an ideal place for yourself.
