Pros

The work is interesting, peers are helpful, everyone is proud of the simulator products, and balance of personal time to overtime.

Cons

Managers don't talk to subordinates. In one experience, the manager of a group of 20 did not even know the names of the people that were reporting to him/her. The managers were in a world of their own, summarizing the work of the staff, and rarely leaving their office. except to report to their own manager.
