Pros

Pay is okay, not top tier for what can be made for most F&A professionals.

Cons

Shield AI is one of the most dysfunctonal and inhumane companies I have ever worked out. While we are all in positions to do work, they treat people as if they purely numbers and can be discarded casually without any warning, at any time. The person that is in charge of HR is ruthless and does not care that he is messing with peoples lives when a casual decision is made to terminate people overnight. The CTO should be the CEO, and the CEO lies and paints an unrealistic picture for employees. The Company is not in great financial shape and basically operating on borrowed time and money to support the overinflated salaries of an incompetent and inexperienced C-Suite.

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.
