DroneShield Reviews

Management needs training, no people skills or time management skills. No accountability in management after repeated mistakes People blaming when the solution is rooted in unrealistic deadlines. Stingy with the workplace incentives e.g overtime food allowance.

Timelines are consistently unrealistic, creating sustained pressure across teams. On a daily basis, team members express high levels of stress, yet there is little to no consideration or adjustment from leadership. There is a clear disconnect between expectations and practical delivery capacity. Leadership is a major concern. The current CTO demonstrates a lack of awareness across several critical areas and tends to rely heavily on micromanagement rather than strategic direction. Decision-making often follows a rigid “my way or the highway” approach, with little regard for input from managers or the realities faced by teams. There is also significant pressure passed down to managers to push teams beyond reasonable limits, even when it’s clear that timelines are overly optimistic. The focus appears to be heavily skewed toward financial outcomes, with minimal regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable delivery. Culture is another weak point. There is little interest in improving ways of working, processes, or team culture. Feedback from managers about their teams is often overlooked, and there is no meaningful emphasis on continuous improvement. Overall, aside from salary, there are no notable perks or benefits. The organization lacks balance, support, and a healthy working environment.
