Pros

Amazing team, super friendly and always willing to help. It was a great place to learn and be exposed to the startup culture/security world. The pay and benefits were amazing as well.

Cons

No major cons, working fully remote made socializing a bit difficult.

Pros

The talent density here is remarkably high. You work with world-class experts across physics, AI, and business who genuinely respect each other. The scope is massive. Because we touch diverse verticals like gov, cybersecurity, medical devices, and pharma simulation, the work is never boring. You get the stability of a larger entity with the variety of a portfolio. The culture is collaborative and people want to win together.

Cons

We are shifting from research to a revenue-supported business. That pivot is difficult. Product-market fit is being discovered in real time which leads to ambiguity and shifting priorities. Standard playbooks often do not apply here. You must be comfortable executing without perfect infrastructure in place. If you need rigid structure and clarity, you will struggle here.
