Pros

Being rigorous and going fast is a key leadership principle at Shield. It's a delicate balance, but captures the essence of working in a motivated and determined team. In a company that is ~40% former military, it's refreshing to hear senior leaders routinely refer to our core values--Do What Honor Dictates, Live as a Servant Leader, and Pursue Excellence.

Cons

Long work hours and tight timelines. Hold on for the ride.
