Pros

Great benefits compared to other industries, average for an aerospace company. Minimal work required, cushy job, great work-life balance. Little to no pressure.

Cons

Little to no accountability on upper management, mid-management, first-line management or anyone else for that matter. Employee's responsibilities are compartmentalized to such an extent that every department operates in a silo and is disconnected and apathetic to the needs of the rest of the organization. Management is disconnected from what their employees actually do and their employee's true abilities. Ideas for improving the workplace fall on deaf ears. Bureaucracy plagues every department, every process, and every decision. Decisions are made slowly if ever made at all. Businesses are slow to react and incapable of reacting responsively to just every facet of the business world.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
