Pros
The product is genuinely interesting and the aviation industry space has real momentum. The team seemed knowledgeable and passionate about what Arconas does. Work conferences and travel perks as well.
Kontras
I was let go after two months with no prior warnings, no performance check-ins, and no indication that anything was off. The stated reason was a lack of airport experience, which was confusing given that I was told during onboarding that other account managers had also come from outside aviation and that the learning curve was expected and supported. It was nothing but encouragement until the rug was ripped out from under me unexpectedly.
Remote communication was a challenge that I don't think was ever properly set up for success. Time zone gaps and unclear processes made it difficult to get the strategic conversations going that I needed early on. Rather than addressing that collaboratively, it seemed easier to part ways.
