Everyone around the company is super nice (including the CEO). The concept of retrofitting boats for autonomy is innovative and has potential. The enthusiasm among team members is palpable, and there's a real sense of being at the forefront of something novel.

The lack of focus and direction from management is profoundly detrimental. As an engineer, it's disheartening to see a barrage of projects being added without any strategic planning or understanding of the engineering challenges involved. This scattergun approach results in a perpetual state of chaos and inefficiency. Furthermore, the core business model of retrofitting boats for autonomy, while innovative, is not viable in its current form. Each deployment is a time-consuming, resource-intensive ordeal, which raises serious questions about the scalability and long-term sustainability of the business.
