Pros

Strong Leadership. Always Improving. Fantastic work ethic from all employees.

Cons

The only negative is work/life balance. The hours are usually long and there is always work to be done. This is or should be understood by employees. The company is achieving amazing goals and everyone is working very hard to accomplish these. This certainly depends on your role within the company, but is something to be aware of.

Pros

Leading the industry in AI technology

Cons

Little to no regard for employee workload, stress, or work-life balance. If you've heard the saying "It's like building the plane while you fly it" this is definitely Shield AI...expect the plane you are trying to build and fly at the same time is also on fire and you aren't trying to keep it from crashing on a daily basis.
