Absolutely horrible

Pros

Magic beans (stock options) might be worth something some day.

Cons

Senior/Top management is a bunch of arrogant elitists that expect you to be thankful to work 60+ hour weeks. Even top performers are worried they’ll be fired. Middle management are slave drivers that does not care about mission, which just makes the nonsense “make service members proud” lip service to exploit the government.

Pros

Engaged Executives: One thing I’ve always admired about Shield AI is how our executives stay connected and hands-on with the team. It creates a sense of transparency and trust that’s truly refreshing. Exceptional Colleagues: Working here has been a privilege because of the brilliant and dedicated people I get to collaborate with every day. It’s inspiring to be surrounded by such talent. Veteran Presence: I appreciate that Shield AI values veterans and actively seeks to include them in our workforce. Their unique perspectives add depth to our company culture.

Cons

At a company of this caliber, achieving the desired results demands dedication and hard work, requiring a significant investment of time. Yet, the ultimate rewards are immensely gratifying.

5 Stars – A Career That Contributes to Saving Lives

Pros

*Outstanding environment for those looking to work with highly intelligent and driven people. *Products have saved the lives of Americans, Israelis, and other friends. *Nowhere else can you work on the most cutting-edge AI and autonomy for the United States military. I have been part of Shield AI for nearly three years. This period has been the most challenging and yet profoundly fulfilling of my professional life. The co-founder’s Navy SEAL background is deeply ingrained in the company culture, which promotes excellence and servant leadership. Here, you work with some of the smartest engineers in the world and veterans who have dedicated their entire lives in service to our country. Shield AI is the only defense tech company in the world providing meaningful mission impact against adversaries trying to harm Americans and our allies.

Cons

*Those seeking a traditional 9-to-5 with perks and catered meals of a Meta or Google (Google (corporate policy boycotting AI for Defense projects) may find the mission-driven environment and long hours challenging. *Constant change, you will need to be flexible and adapt, if you are not a self-starter look for a different company.
