Pros

- Servant Leadership / People Care (About the mission, the wins, and your wellbeing and career trajectory) - Authentic Company Culture - Other places can seem forced, but I truly feel like I have people that have my back and are supportive. - Office is what you would imagine a well-funded startup. Really cool design, office perks, and also a great internal community. - Social Balance: A lot of social groups in each of the office locations with a diverse array of activities and events. - Flexible Work (Hybrid/In-Office) - Really up to you and your team. - Incredible Interview & Onboarding Process - Probably one of the smoothest and straight forward interview/onboarding processes i've been through. I could tell every individual in the process really cared and honored their word.

Cons

- Office in DC, although really cool, is still under renovation and is growing. Sometimes the office feels a little empty.

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.
