Fantastic product with a great future in the UAV industry
It's really hard to be fired at GA
Great people to work with
Cons
Still operates like a small company
Few efficient procedures/policies
Sexism, ageism, and favoritism are rampant and allowed
Management usually (barely) manage, not lead
It's not made clear how to advance from one level to another

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.
Cons
Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
