Pros

Fair pay, benefits package, and good all around work-life balance. in general, supportive, cooperative, and friendly coworkers. Interesting and challenging work with plenty room to learn and gain a mastery of the business.

Cons

The nature of aerospace forces a competitive nature in the company and relatively few available contracts often creates ups and downs in business that do not lend itself well to stability.

Tier 1 aerospace design and manufacturing company that has grown quickly in recent years mainly through acquisitions.

Business Outlook

Pros

Career progression opportunities for capable, ambitious individuals who are willing to relocate. Sites in 30+ countries around the world.

Cons

Due to its rapid growth through recent acquisitions, company sites still work quite independently of each other and synergies have yet to be fully realised. Although it's a big multinational company, it doesn't quite operate like one yet. But it's getting there.
