Pros

Sagetech is a small company that is very dynamic internally and in the marketplace. It's fun to work for a company that is a leader in the emerging UAV industry and will play a key role in safe operation of UAVs in the future. The small, growing company in a brand new industry is driven to realize it's vision. This often means hard decisions and sometimes this means tough staff cuts, but it leaves the company stronger. Not exercising the discipline to keep the company lean, and capable would be a disservice those that remain with the company and give it their all, If someone fits the culture and has something to give they will be given the opportunity to build skills and contribute much more than most companies, in this way I see it as a meritocracy, something that is rare in the typically overly-bureaucratically-mired company. If you want to work in a high-paced, cutting edge industry, Sagetech will give back more than you give. Great medical/life insurance benefits, 401k matching, several annual company events, amazing location in the Columbia River Gorge - one of the most sought-after locations in the country for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. One hour's drive from Portland, OR.

Cons

Sagetech's culture is not for those that want to rest an their laurels or who want to live in a bustling city.
