Lots of opportunities, lots of bureaucracy

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products, great people, and plenty of opportunities for moving around and trying new challenges.

Cons

So much bureaucracy! So much middle management! The layers of approval required to do ANYTHING is ridiculous. Senior leadership is generally very competent and the working level folks are extremely capable. We’d do well to trim a few levels in the middle to allow better communication, faster decision making, and to show more trust in the working folks.

Business Outlook

Pros

Proven and stable company with many entry level opportunities, and many interesting projects. Many travel and hands on opportunities for aircraft programs and trainers.

Cons

Top heavy company with no technical career path opportunities for mid to high level engineers. The size of the company severely dampens ability to change.
