Pros

* You work on cool stuff that has an impact in the world. * Very high-quality colleagues. Intelligent, thoughtful people across the company. * Open to contrarian views delivered tactfully, and an openness to change. Shield is great. Yes it is hard work, but then there is an urgency in the mission. As per the lack of diversity, majority of the Execs are POC, and there are many teams (like Finance, Px) that are majority female. I also believe the pay and benefits are very fair for an emerging growth company.

Cons

* Hard stuff is hard. I only gave it a 4 as I know it is not for everyone. I am looking for growth and learning, so this is the perfect job for me.

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.
