      Pros

      Team and engineers are good.

      Cons

      Senior Management and CEO not very good. Poor leadership skills of CEO. Made a non-political environment, highly political and toxic. People have to watch their back constantly. CEO wants to be surrounded by "Yes" men/women and is highly vindictive

      Company mission is compelling - research culture before you join

      Pros

      Building Resilient PNT, GPS backup and 3D geolocation technology mission is impactful. Benefits such as flexible work, decent pay and skilled engineering core remain positive, especially from legacy teams.

      Cons

      Since new CEO, there's been a clear cultural shift: a once collaborative environment has become miserable, toxic and political. Senior management has shut down questions and dialog, replacing it with internal politicking. Legacy staff are sidelined and institutional knowledge is dismissed. Strong cultural decline under new leadership. Widespread burnout and and low morale.

      Lots of recent changes

      Pros

      Mission of the company is worthwhile. Legacy employees great to work with. Solid employee benefits and some free lunches. Bay area and DC offices are nice new locations with remote work possible.

      Cons

      Most of the people that built the company are now gone, mostly due to attrition and lost hope waiting for company to grow...tor they were just laid off. New CEO hired to take one last shot at profitability with worthwhile new direction in hopes of finally turning a profit. Unfortunately the new leadership has brought with it a miserable, toxic and political culture. Executive team now scared to act boldly and the new organizational restructuring was poorly thought out. New leadership also has little interest in learning anything from legacy employees. Old company culture was largely free of politics, but that has all changed now.
