Pros

Morale is good for the most part. People are friendly and willing to help each other. There's ability to interface among a multitude of disciplines/departments and also opportunity to move around the company which all help broaden knowledge and skillsets. Lots to learn about UAV products and the industry.

Cons

Company is getting too big and bogged down by lots of processes, paperwork, and red tape that adversely affect efficiency and resourcing to actual priorities (engineering work if you are an engineer). Raises and pay are low compared to market. Not much R&D. Could invest more in training.

Lots of structure, tools and resources to do the job.

Culture was like a Principal's office. Focus on little rules that overshadow overall work output.
