Pros

Very interesting type of work in the Wind Tunnel which was built in the early 60's. So in this decade, there are a great deal of issues with the tunnel because investments have not been made at bringing the tunnel to today' standard of turbulence intensity, for example.

Cons

The newly hired director (I think he did his PhD on watching paint dry from Univ of Buffalo) thinks he knows it all - very arrogant, very obtuse (and thats insulting obtuse people). deJong is duhjong Sr. management do not understand the laws of physics in the capacity required to run the Transonic wind tunnel - and they are responsible for hiring idiots like the director. I guess idiots hiring idiots and that's why there is no future at Calpsan Wind tunnel facility Sr. management also hires family members - so good luck with that
