Sinking ship - Director Airspace Link Employee Review

Airspace Link is a fast-moving, growth-mindset startup that is changing how Drones integrate into the U.S. and are managed by organizations across the country. The leadership and team are great, well-balanced, and make sure to take care of each other. Great hybrid/remote culture. Overall, highly recommend working at Airspace Link.

The team has experienced some normal growing pains as the product finds product-market fit.

Transformational technology, experienced and positive team

On April 4, 2026, Airspace Link implemented a reduction in force to extend the runway, 40%+ of the team gone. Many promising, highly praised team members were let go with a 10 minute announcement teams call. Many of whom have families. Terminated effective immediately, and a pittance for severance. I read the review from October 5, 2024 and hoped something had changed, but it appears this is a pattern. There was constant optimism on Monthly meetings. Five new hires in the last few months leading up to the layoffs, many of them laid off before they finished onboarding. There is clearly a lack of respect for employees outside of the management level.
