Pros

-The team / the people: They've managed to attract an extremely impressive group of experts (look at the bios on the website). Best of all, everyone is really kind. You do not see this combination every day. -The leadership is the best I have worked with. They genuinely care about the success of the individuals on this team and spend a lot of time focusing on how to help people exceed their potential. -Cutting-edge technology: sounds like a buzz word statement but it's true. -Mission: the mission and purpose of this company is the first opportunity I have had to make a real difference in the world and be part of something much bigger than myself. It's obvious this is at the core of what drives people to bring their A game every single day.

Cons

None! If I had to say one thing, maybe that it is a fast growing startup - with which comes growing pains and more work than there is time. That's being said.. that's why you join a startup. The hours are long and the work is hard -- but I don't see anyone complaining.

Pros

A majority of the company is filled with good-willed, nice, curious people across AI, aviation, geospatial, engineering and instructional spaces.

Cons

Too many of the operational decisions are made by sof guys with virtually zero experience in any of the fields relevant to the company...including strategic operations or even tactical isr. Too many has-beens used to working with no oversight. Money and equipment constantly disappearing. The company is like a toddler walking around in their parents clothes. Poor scaling. Almost non-existent safety considerations. Prior service in corporate is always something that needs to be addressed but the amount of sof guys this company employees just so they can put "elite" in every tagline is ridiculous. They complain constantly just to freeze or meltdown in the lightest stressful situations. Virtually unteachable so they are removed and elevated into positions that avoid that dynamic. We can't get people to stop being vindictive bigots every time they are corrected or called out for lying in a meeting to save our lives but we sure will platform the latest self-help garbage from some other hack of a seal because so-in-so met him once or likes his podcast.
