Pros

Met a few great people Got paid to watch a circus everyday

Cons

Leadership is a joke with zero experience in unmanned systems. They put their egos over listening to experienced employees. Company is filled with incompetent people that literally bring nothing to the table. They hemorrhage investor money while lying to them about the "tech" they have that does not work, or they don't actually have. Everything is smoke and mirrors. The path in which the company is supposed to go changes daily with no actual goals or direction.
