Svantaggi
TLDR: The engineering culture here will make it extremely difficult if not impossible to certify the vehicle. I've been here for two years now, and the culture has not improved from an engineering standpoint to be able to achieve company goals. - Not a single person in senior leadership has experience type certifying an aircraft, nor does any one of them have experience developing a commercial aircraft in general. - People who have experience type certifying aircraft are often squashed by management who are more interested in forcing a "Joby way" of doing things than doing it the way we have to in order to get a type certificate. - No career paths or opportunities for advancement unless you're in the inner circle. - Management in certain groups will shun you if you ask for career growth opportunities. - Management is 95% white men (neither atypical for tech nor aerospace, but it is still disappointing given the 'progressive' culture this company advertises). - By no means is the work here more difficult or moving at a faster pace than other commercial aircraft programs, but the people here who've never worked one before think we're better than any airframer in existence. - Company has an 'everyone's voice deserves to be heard' mentality which makes it extremely hard to make progress.
