      Pros

      Great atmosphere working with creative Engineer's to explore the endless possibilities of drones. Working with the DoD to manage military contracts was a great experience.

      Cons

      Losing funding and having a mass reduction in workforce.

      Pros

      - Interesting projects to work on - Well intentioned co-workers and management (you'll see this shortly in the Cons too) - Some cutting edge technology (and some dull technology) - Kratos Corporate is looking for the UAV group to deliver (lots of R&D money and political support) * Note other comments about being run by a tyrant were from an earlier management regime time. 2013/2014/2015 there was a big change when CEi was bought by Kratos, the founders left the company, and there were a bunch of layoffs.

      Cons

      - Small company playing with the large DOD companies, we often find ourselves out of depth (agreeing to contracts with not enough time or money to execute, planning, etc). - Corporate infrastructure is clunky and holds things back (proposal process, purchasing, IT, configuration management, etc). Generally, the company has not invested in enterprise level process tools to streamline day-to-day business functions (instead it has compounded problems by weakly merging acquired companies together and then added more bureaucracy on top). - Communication up and down the management chain. - Well intenetioned co-workers and management (short sighted decisions and stove piped teams make for dysfunction)

      Great Place to Learn about High Performance UAV's

      Pros

      This is a relatively small company working on large DOD contracts competing with Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, Raytheon, etc. There is plenty of opportunity for good engineers to learn new skills and to be a key contributor to the big picture. It is easy to be noticed and move up quickly. On the other hand, poor performance is also noticed quickly due to the nature of a small organization. Engineers here are not pigeon holed and are able to work on a multitude of projects requiring various technical skills.

      Cons

      This company suffers from the typical growing pains of a small company going big. Sometimes programs are underbid and understaffed.
