      Pros

      1. Exciting Industry and Opportunity for Growth – Working in the aerospace industry provides unique and challenging opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge projects. 2. Openness to New Challenges – The company provides opportunities to take on high-priority tasks, sometimes outside your core expertise, which can lead to valuable learning experiences. 3. Startup Environment – As a growing company, there’s potential for employees to have a significant impact and take on meaningful responsibilities in a dynamic environment. 4. Flexibility in Task Management – You often have the autonomy to prioritize tasks and manage your daily responsibilities without excessive micromanagement. 5. Global Presence – Working with teams across the globe, particularly with the New Zealand office, offers a chance for international collaboration and exposure to different ways of working.

      Cons

      1. Lack of Structure – The absence of clear goals and task prioritization can lead to a reactive work environment where you’re constantly putting out fires rather than working strategically. 2. Poor Onboarding Process – The onboarding experience is disorganized, with little guidance on processes, which can make the first few months challenging and frustrating. 3. Inconsistent Communication – Communication within teams and between locations is often delayed or incomplete, leading to confusion and inefficiencies. 4. Limited Managerial Support – leadership is often absent, leaving employees to advocate for themselves and tackle complex problems without sufficient support. 5. High Potential for Burnout – The lack of structure and support can result in frustration and burnout, which could lead to talented employees leaving the company.
