Pros

Pros are the three day weekend every other week. It is pretty laid back here and not a lot of supervision which can be a good or a bad thing. They will never lay anyone off and it's really tough to get fired.

Cons

PAY AND RAISES. The pay is crap compared to most aerospace companies and the raises are a JOKE. You have to wait a whole year to get a 3 to 5% raise depending on if your supervisor likes you. A lot of politics here just like anywhere else and it seems as though all the higher ups are Caucasian, so you know you're chances of moving up to management are slim. A lot of workers are very content so the company doesn't expect employees to try and work their way up the ladder. Pretty much being in tight with the right people is the only way to move up quickly in this company.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
