Pros

+ Incredible teammates: Shield AI has done a remarkable job selecting people who are not only highly intelligent / experts in their field, but also people who embody the company's values. Everyone I work with is driven, energetic and kind. + High growth company with ample opportunity to take on new responsibilities, lead and learn + A powerful mission - protecting service members and innocent civilians around the world + Beautiful office space with unlimited snacks, free lunch everyday and a workplace that encourages employees to be healthy (team members and leaders regularly workout together at the gym)

Cons

- High growth is challenging and requires high effort - everyone here works long hours - No 401K Matching

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.
