Pros

As a smaller company generally the work is fast paced and there is plenty of it so always things to keep busy and interesting, Also many roles will need to be filled by a single person so great for gaining experience with many different things. Overall a lot of experience can be gained in the environment.

Cons

The work life balance is not good, many tasks are assigned, and in general it is expected that it all gets done even though there is not enough time. In general extra hours need to be put in to get things done and compensation is not usually given. Management is unclear and unfocused. The decisions are not congruent across different mangers of the company and there is some infighting going which makes the direction fuzzy. Company is somewhat unorganized because the general workload everyone is under.

Pros

Interesting work. Lots in the defense sector - some of the most interesting platforms out there - ground vehicles, jets, rotary wing training systems. Growing and pursuing new work. Senior / executive management very accessible and they even know my name!

Cons

We are fairly small so some limitations on what we can do, but the company stresses innovation. Sometimes with downturns in the market they undergo RIF’s but no more than other companies in the market.
