Pros

Good amount of PTO after several years of service. Cheap insurance plans.

Cons

This is a small offshoot of Leonardo, a large Italian conglomerate. Small footprint in the US, but they are trying (and failing) to compete with the big boys - Boeing, Lockheed, etc. Very chaotic and disorganized environment, incompetent management, both local and overseas. Poor to non-existent coordination between departments. Pay is significantly below market for aerospace industry. The company is discriminatory against American workers as many top and mid-level jobs go to H1B visa holders from main office in Italy. The company is also in a perpetual DEI and re-structuring modes. Archaic business practices, outdated software and hardware. Offices are filthy and overcrowded, with broken chairs and monitors. Very shady HR department, which is also astonishingly incompetent and unresponsive.
