Astronics AES will lure you in but they do not care about people, only dollars.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people, the ones who actually did the work.

Cons

"People Managers" who work from home. Untrustworthy, judgemental management. There are no growth opportunities at Astronics. Women do not have equal pay. Astronics will more often hire from outside the company over someone who's been there for years and knows their stuff, time and time again. The president of the company is out of touch with reality. Corporate stopped bonuses and raises for the next 3 years as well as placed a hiring freeze after laying off workers who have put in decades of service. Astronics is not the company it once was. Never will be again.
