Pros

Because it is a small company you have the ability to do a variety of things and I was able to do a variety ot tasks and learn a lot of things.

Cons

You never felt that management trusted any employee. You were micromanged from the President down and once purchased by Kratos it was even more so.

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

They make interesting niche products. They know how to manufacture with composites. Manufacturing is their strength. Being such a small company allows one to see many areas and move around to different fields. Every part of the company is close together.

Cons

This small company is trying to play in a big company arena as a DOD contractor but is failing in many regards. Much of this can be traced back to its top-down dictatorial management style. Employees and employee input are not valued. They are willing to throw one of their own under the bus to get out of a tight spot. This leads to very low moral and high turn-over. I have watched some of the finest engineering talent walk out the door. Partial successes are over-sold. This comes back to bite the company over and over when it is time to perform. Very telling is the internal motto amongst employees: "Over-commit and Under-perform". The company has not learned how to apply sound engineering principles and to plan programs realistically.
