Pros

The opportunities to learn new things and expand anyone's technical abilities are limitless. Lots of opportunities to advance to new roles or even cross functional roles.

Cons

Some times because of the size of the company politics can slow things down. Employee's need to be creative.

Pros

Good pay and exposure to really interesting things. Potential for growth in the aerospace field. There are great benefits which is also a plus.

Cons

The company is too big to be run efficiently. I find that much of my day is spent waiting for emails. I thought I was joining a cutting edge team, but was disappointed to find that I am pushing papers around all day.

Pros

Solid benefits, good salary. I know there are layoffs from time to time, but they do really try to protect their employees. General not a bad work environment.

Cons

It is not unusual to see people promoted based on who you know, or simply being female, being a minority so quotas can be met rather than promoting based on skill and ability. I have seen several programs fail because of people promoted beyond their abilities. As others have said, it really does help to know an M level manager, or better yet an E. It is also not unusual to see employees perform well below what they should be and nothing is done about it.
