Pros

It's satisfying to see your products (airplanes) all over the sky and at airports. We are on the leading edge of technologies.

Cons

The culture is not progressive enough but it's slowly changing (not fast enough). Advancement/promotion decisions are based on the number of years worked vs how capable an individual is. The company is having a hard time retaining new hires (Gen x and Gen y) and most babyboomers (majority of the current workforce) are at retirement age. Big brain drain ahead and the company is not promoting fast enough. Lastly, there are so many incompetent employees that are holding senior positions which are demoralizing the motivated junior employees (often leave out of frustrations).

Pros

Top Notch Peers! Working with a diverse and talented work force on new and innovative projects.

Cons

Way too much Bureaucracy. Way too many Knee-Jerk reactions. Much too often, impeding processes are implemented across the board in reaction to a single error somewhere in the company. Very often, these actions are extreme over-reactions to simple situations.

Pros

Great benefits package, including full education reimbursement, a variety of global work locations. Good recognition programs.

Cons

Very bureaucratic, slow to change with trends, aging workforce, lack of flexibility in work schedule. Lots of policies and procedures, some useful, some a waste of time and energy. Management often fails to understand what their direct reports' workstatements really are.
