A National Embarrassment
Defense sales mean that stock is valuable. Work-life balance is good.
Company is a national embarrassment; Ukraine chose to buy DJI instead of using Skydios that they got for free.
Management doesn’t prioritize making core autonomy work reliably, and is only interested in new features.
Infrastructure and tooling are extremely poor, making an extremely frustrating working environment.

Focus on making the core autonomy work, not new features.
