Vantaggi

Intelligent engineers, free snacks, nice office, teammates are kind to each other

Svantaggi

Seems like 90% men employed with no acknowledgement of this by executives or any plan to diversify, which is odd for a tech company or defense company in 2022. Pay is okay, no transparency into everyones pay so can't comment directly; doesn't seem overly competitive, but certainly livable. No culture besides "work hard", very visible decline within employee programs, perks, development, and resources. Starting to feel more like a factory. Most departments are understaffed and overworked, which leads to burnout. People aren't robots being built, executive team seem to think that is the case and would rather have overworked team instead of hiring appropriately. Putting people into roles or overseeing roles they have no experience or expertise seems to be rampant because they were recommended or know someone, which should not be happening at a company this late in growth stages. Not the worst company, not the best either. Not the place for people who need routine or consistency. Plenty of work to be done to be a legitimate company; more investment into support staff, current employees and general structure.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
