Pros

Cutting edge technology applied to product Customers are global Interactions with customers are always varied The product is custom engineered so each contract is different, There is always an opportunity to interact with customers and solve unique engineering problems

Cons

Even though the Mount Vernon product is not used for aviation, the decisions made by the culture tend to be conservative, risk averse and err on the side of safety. Other companies in the aero-derivative equipment market have significantly leaner cost structures and better market share.

Working with great people makes such a difference day to day – it's good to hear that's been a real part of your experience. We hear you on internal progression – career growth can feel different for everyone, and we know we've still got work to do to make development paths clearer. Feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.
