Where Software Engineers go to Die - Senior Software Engineer FlightSafety International Employee Review

Pros

I enjoyed chatting with my coworkers. Some of those relationships will be lifelong friends.

Cons

Long hours, low pay. Professional software practices are non-existent. Software engineers are treated like factory workers. If you like clocking in and clocking out, and having your hours micro-mananged, this is the place for you! Expect to be building code on the same slow computer accounting uses, rather than a machine built for software development. Each year they will dangle a bonus out in front of you, only to say that "because reasons" you won't be getting it. People with disabilities need not apply. FlightSafety's "job requirements" for software engineers when I worked there include being able to "stand for one hour".

Pros

PTO, somewhat of a 'decent' salary

Cons

Management, both in the center & corporate. The work tasks are too demanding for the BS pay we get. The verbal abuse we get from pilots. Management has zero issue letting you know when you've done something wrong but if they do something wrong.. nothing happens? Oh I'm away from my computer for more than 15 minutes and now I'm getting scolded by not being on the phone? We can't speak freely. We have to watch what we say on the phone cause everything is recorded. The St. Louis location is a joke, with their petty front desk staff & gaslighting managers. The only people who are cool in the St Louis location are their PM's. This whole company needs a redo. Oh & if you're a biological female.. you're not safe if a transgender woman wants to use your bathroom.
