Great company for a diverse entrepreneurial experience - Recensione dipendente - Partner presso Pilot44 Labs

The biggest pros for Pilot44 are its people, its clients, and its opportunities, especially for younger folks. The team is unique with wide experiences and perspectives and really smart. I was constantly impressed by not only the work my colleagues delivered but also the knowledge they would share in passing conversations or lunch-&-learns and the hobbies or side businesses people ran on the side. Lastly and most importantly, the team is genuinely kind to one another - willing to help, curious about each other's lives, and always maintaining respect during challenging discourse. Furthermore, the client roster is comprised of some of the most reputable companies in the world. If you have an interest in CPG, you'll be hard-pressed to find a stronger set of logos at a company of similar size. These contribute an amazing opportunities, especially for young people. Because the team is small and scrappy, junior employees are relied upon to make a real impact quickly. Within weeks you can be presenting to senior folks at some of the largest brands in the world. For younger people who want to learn by doing, Pilot44 offers tons of opportunities to dive head first into the deep end. The employees that take advantage of this develop legitimate strategic chops quickly while practicing professional communication & storytelling and getting exposure to a wide range of corporate functions, technologies, and industries.

As a service provider, Pilot44 has had its growing pains from prioritizing client work over internal management. The company runs pretty lean by design, and the number of people working on the business (vs. on client work) is fairly limited (although improving significantly in the last 1-2 years). Therefore, this can be a challenging place to work for people who are more passive about their needs as employees. Founders / executives genuinely do care about their people; apathy is not the issue. I think due to running lean and usually being in a growth state, the general expectation is for employees to speak up if they are unsatisfied or if there are issues within the company.

Based on what I've seen so far, there aren't any. Don't believe any of the positive reviews you might have read about this company; they are all lies! I will say, my coworkers have been incredibly helpful to me, at the very least. If it weren't for them, working here would've been a lot more miserable than it already is.

My experience working with Pilot44 Labs has been a nightmare so far! My work-life balance has been a complete mess ever since I started working here; I've had to deal with long hours, tight deadlines, and forced overtime! Management doesn't provide even employees with any training or guidance, but expects them to meet high expectations and know how to do their jobs perfectly as soon as they start working! Every mistake you make is heavily scrutinized, but management doesn't bother constructive feedback. Aside from that, the pay here is insultingly low and there isn't much room for advancement. If you're looking to grow your career, then you've come to the wrong place!
