Pros

It's hard to argue with designing jet engines. Some of the most complex machines ever designed by humans that operate in incredibly unforgiving environments. People make careers out of specific details.

Cons

Very top down, command & control culture. Information does not flow down. All value is in executives. Individual contributors are just "heads". Environment encourages people to hoard information because your eligibility for promotion is based on how good you make yourself look to your leadership. Extremely siloed and compartmentalized. The managers metrics drive all the behavior, which discourages focus on the end product.
