Vantaggi

- Factually, one of the most successful start-ups in the country. The company sells several real products that customers are really buying and using. There is no vaporware being built here. Leadership is aiming to compete and collaborate with the other defense primes as peers. The jobs here feel secure and promising. My fastest career growth has taken place during the years I've worked here. - Respectful and professional culture. I've witnessed the least amount of workplace drama at this company than any previous. People here are friendly, always value poise, and are focused on the mission and solving challenging engineering problems. - Incredible talent pool. Many of the most talented engineers in the country work here, and you will grow as an engineer by working with them. - This company is grappling with frontier technologies. Much of the development happening here is for advanced novel technologies, and this is exciting for a certain type of engineer.

Svantaggi

- This company makes products that empower state security and military powers with advanced surveillance products. Like it is working for the rest of the defense companies, you should understand and come to terms with that and decide for yourself if that is a con for you. - This company works with the US government, and so all employees are now required to log time worked per project due to industry rules and audits. It is no longer a start-up where employees can just focus on engineering, instead you will be spending some time each week just filling out time sheets. - You are expected to enjoy working here. If you don't have huge career ambitions or just want to work a minimum amount and sign off, then this might not be the company for you.

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.
