Pros: - Work alongside some really intelligent and kind people - Supporting a mission that can truly help protect people in danger

Cons: - Working on advanced technology is challenging and requires a lot of hard work. - A rapidly growing companies has a lot of growing pains: there are still lots of things we are figuring out in terms of processes.

Pros: Really, truly, excellent engineers and teammates. Could not ask for better people to work with on a daily basis.

Cons: Things were great a year ago, but starting in Jan 2024, leadership made it clear they want to model company culture based on Tesla or SpaceX, in that they expect all employees to live for their job and have no life outside of work. It's not sustainable, it's counter-productive, and it's the reason I ended up leaving - I have seen so many of my teammates get worn down and burned out by meaningless deadlines and half-baked projects that ended up being scrapped anyways.

Pros: - Fantastic product with tons of interesting problems to solve that will have a huge impact on saving people's lives. - Team is dedicated and intelligent. Some of the smartest and hardest working people I've ever interacted with. - Constant success and growth. The vision is incredibly ambitious and yet every month it seems a huge milestone is hit that tops the last. This is both a combination of the leadership and product development being excellent. - The leadership is comprised of former researchers and professors at Draper Labs and CMU, Navy Seals, an Admiral, and a founding CEO with an engineering background and previous successful exits. - Engineering culture values thinking long term. People care about both internal and external quality. - Friendly open culture that encourages personal growth and helping those around you. - Constant focus on doing things that truly matter, having impact, and 'always be cool'. - Main office is located in Downtown, San Diego. Beautiful weather year round, great Mexican food, and lots of craft beer. - Lunch and Dinner is provided (Did I mention the food is great?) - One of the best gyms in San Diego is located in the same building and is 50% off for employees.

Cons: - Work life balance can be challenging because the company is growing at a very rapid pace. Always more things to do than there are people. - Environment is geared towards self-motivated people. You will thrive here if you can take ownership of things without being told. There are always people willing to help you with your task though. - Open floor plan, despite its benefits, can be distracting at times.
