Pros

-Bright and engaged people. -Company feels pretty horizontal-easy to engage with low level employees and upper management. -Work and develop independently while getting lots of help from expert colleagues. -People seem to like it here. You regularly meet employees who have worked at the company for 10-15+ years. -Lots of growth and new projects coming at the time of this review. -It is relatively inexpensive to live in Buffalo. -Despite not being a hot tourist destination, the Buffalo area has a lot of cool activities and great restaurants.

Cons

-Tidings of political debates over things that seem like they should be straightforward technical solutions. -Having to deal with clunky software. -Sometimes difficult to access material across programs. -Not much vacation until after you have completed 5 years. -Sometimes there is an atmosphere where it feels like egos and gut feelings can eclipse technical strength of ideas.

Pros

The company has a bit of a startup-like vibe, and still feels established. They’re pretty open to letting younger engineers take on real responsibility , which makes it a good place to grow. From what I’ve seen in all-hands meetings, the senior leadership also seems to genuinely care about employees—you can kind of tell they’re paying attention and trying to take care of the team.

Cons

There’s nothing perfect, enjoy the time when you get in.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! We’re thrilled to hear that our blend of an energetic, startup-style environment with the stability of an established company is resonating with you. We believe that giving younger engineers real responsibility early on is one of the best ways to learn and grow, so it’s wonderful to know you’re finding meaningful challenges here. It’s also incredibly encouraging to see that our senior leadership’s commitment to listening and supporting the team comes through in our all-hands meetings—that sense of genuine care is something we strive for every day. Your feedback motivates us to keep fostering a culture where everyone can develop their skills, make an impact, and feel truly valued. Thanks again for taking the time to highlight what makes this place special!

Pros

Good Health Benefits, and 401K

Cons

Although Moog promotes an unlimited PTO policy and emphasizes work-life balance, the actual execution is highly inconsistent and depends heavily on management. Some managers are supportive, while others induce guilt, leading to a culture where employees either underutilize their time or feel uncertain about expectations. Furthermore, compensation lags behind the market average, and internal career growth feels stagnant rather than actively supported.
