      Becoming more corporate has pros and cons

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - the people - the products - strong benefits

      Cons

      - becoming very corporate and bloated with Directors, Sr Directors, and VPs that then need to hire teams to do the actual work most of these leaders are coming from Splunk, feels more like Shield AI was acquired by Splunk (for better and for worse)

      Business Outlook

      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.
