Pros

Aersospace work is interesting in itself Some great people to work with and will help support professional development Some great acquisitions with legacy businesses and people that are great to work with

Cons

Poor Managment Too metric driven Touts "pay for performance" but does not deliver Demands performance excellence while only providing average pay/benefits Laying off too many people to sustain operations/R&D/competitive advantage Forces beauracratic process on aquisitions that are not structred to execute (too lean) Preaches work/life balance and many other great initiatives but every action made contradicts those commitments to these great initiatives

Why not the best...

Pros

Engineers rarely have to come with any new ideas. Management doesn't like wasting time on new designs. Just tweak what is already there--make it work.

Cons

Office politics on steroids. If you are not a professional, you really don't want to work for this company. Management has no respect for skilled trades. Not much more than a good old boys club. Female Engineers beware. You won't like your treatment here.
