Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Actelis Networks' ethical profile is mixed. Employee reviews from 2012-2023 reports suggest a 'Horrible environment' and 'abuse of employees,' alongside mentions of 'financial difficulty' and 'empty promises.' However, some employees reportedly benefit from 100% company-paid health insurance. CEO compensation is $323.25k. Critics point to Actelis' provision of cyber-hardened networking solutions for governmental and military applications, which allegedly creates a potential conflict with 'No War, No Weapons' values. On a positive note, Actelis demonstrates a strong commitment to 'Safe & Smart Tech,' holding cybersecurity certifications from DoD and NIST, with products on the DoDIN APL approved list and its MetaShield SaaS platform protecting IoT networks.
