Pros

Lunch twice a week catered. Production team was amazing, close knit and great people.

Cons

Lunch was to entice you to work many hours while your in office (as that’s mandatory) as well as when you get home. Help was requested but since we were seen chatting in the office every once in a while it was stated by upper management that help wasn’t needed as we had time to chat.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we appreciate it. We continue to focus on how we can improve our employee experience, and an important element of that includes listening to our employees. We rolled out an employee engagement survey earlier this year and we're proud of the action plans we've taken based upon listening to the feedback in that survey. We look forward to continuing to improve as we continue grow as a company.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, your perspective is valuable to us and we are sorry to hear that your experience has not been exceptional. Shield AI is a fast growing start-up with a valuable mission of protecting service members and civilians, and we are growing fast which is very exciting. We do care about our employees and are working to ensure there are appropriate resources for employees to address workloads, stress and the appropriate work-life balance. We will continue to improve our operational foundation and communication and most importantly work to ensure our employees know how valuable they are to Shield AI.

Pros

Used to be a great place to work, especially when it was Martin UAV ...not so much now.

Cons

Management in a nutshell, ego's get in the way.
