Pros

-Overall a great place to work. -Team: Shield AI is selective in recruiting and it shows. -People at the company are highly motivated and have extensive expertise. -Technology: We're building something that doesn't exist- fully autonomous aircraft. It doesn't get much more cutting edge than drones and AI but they are far more than just buzzwords here. -Culture: Teammates are kind to each other and there is a very welcoming atmosphere. Work can be challenging but people remain generally upbeat.

Cons

-Hours: Working hard is unfortunately equated to working a long time. Despite most workplace studies suggesting that longer hours does not lead to an increase in productivity. At least weekends are mostly respected. -Growing pains: The company is growing rapidly which means frequent changes in terms, tools, processes, organizational structure, etc. This is true of any small company but Shield AI may be above the average. -No 401k match or other retirement benefit.
