Pros

We lead with the noble and consequential mission of helping the US and our allies address real-world national security engineering challenges. Surrounded by smart, dedicated, high energy professionals. Phenomenal culture and team spirit, great pay, and as much responsibility as you can handle. Building a generation defining tech company.

Cons

Expectations are high and results matter -- go to Boeing, Northrop or Lockheed if looking to skate.

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.

Expected 50 hour work week (less than 45 hours will lead to a "nuanced" separation) Constant restructuring of company organization leads people doing jobs not related to what they were hired for Benefits are constantly being reduced/removed No company sponsored work events (i.e. happy hours) No internal promotions
