CULTURE

How do you show employees you appreciate them?

We make sure all our employees have what they need to be comfortable, happy, and to be excited about the work they’re doing. This means we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to the work environment and we’re always open to suggestions in terms of how to make coming to work enjoyable for everyone. We have immense respect for our team, and we trust everyone to be autonomous and self-driven. Working at an early-stage startup is often stressful and demanding, but one of our core values, “Support the Team,” includes making time to reflect, recharge, and celebrate. We want to ensure that everyone is happy and fulfilled in and out of the office by encouraging PTO, checking in on one another, and taking care of each other with flexibility and kindness. We also offer unique benefits, like support for our team members to get their Private Pilot License.

How are you creating a workplace of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging?

One of our core values is “Keep your Promises.” An attribute of this sentiment is “Act with integrity - be truthful, fair and considerate of others.” Fairness is especially important to us. We’re committed to building a team that’s not only world class, but incredibly diverse as well, and we’ve hired brilliant engineers, builders, and doers from all over the world (over 50% of our current staff is from outside the US). We genuinely believe that a diverse team, with varying frames of reference and points of view, is a critical element of real innovation.

Why should someone work at your company?

At our core, Odys is a team of builders with a huge amount of pride for what we’re building: our product, our team, and our culture. Our employees have an opportunity to do impactful work alongside incredibly passionate and talented teammates. Someone should join our company if they want to effect change in travel, aviation, and sustainability, and build something big from the ground up.

Our company could win an award for:

Building the best team in aerospace by combining the most innovative, passionate, talented, and supportive humans you can imagine.
