Pros

- Mission and values driven company/team. The focus on mission and values is very real and unique. Working here is very meaningful and fulfilling. - Company culture - Everybody works hard, works together toward common goals, and has fun. It is a great place to be where people genuinely care for each other. The team is awesome. - Cutting edge technology - The intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, for the defense sector is very exciting. Every day we are doing things that have never been done and creating products for the future. - Work life balance - We work hard but it is not unreasonable. Flexible schedules and remote access allow for healthy work life balance. Many employees have young families. Best work-life balance I have had.

Cons

- Young company, experiencing growing pains. Lots of work to do transitioning to programs and processes that will endure. - Keeping up with fast growth.

Pros

A majority of the company is filled with good-willed, nice, curious people across AI, aviation, geospatial, engineering and instructional spaces.

Cons

Too many of the operational decisions are made by sof guys with virtually zero experience in any of the fields relevant to the company...including strategic operations or even tactical isr. Too many has-beens used to working with no oversight. Money and equipment constantly disappearing. The company is like a toddler walking around in their parents clothes. Poor scaling. Almost non-existent safety considerations. Prior service in corporate is always something that needs to be addressed but the amount of sof guys this company employees just so they can put "elite" in every tagline is ridiculous. They complain constantly just to freeze or meltdown in the lightest stressful situations. Virtually unteachable so they are removed and elevated into positions that avoid that dynamic. We can't get people to stop being vindictive bigots every time they are corrected or called out for lying in a meeting to save our lives but we sure will platform the latest self-help garbage from some other hack of a seal because so-in-so met him once or likes his podcast.
