Pros

Cool products, challenging work, people are friendly, great holiday schedule, good paid time off policies for salaried workforce

Cons

Yes-man organization, short sighted, terrible hiring policies (you'll only be hired if you are a new grad or a contracted service provider), talent development is a joke, terrible parental leave, minimal flex-time opportunities, product quality is sacrificed to meet schedule, you'll only move into management if you know the right people and are just like them, no freedom in choosing what program or products you want to work on

No longer employee-centric. All about the bottom dollar now.

Pros

Coworkers are great. Tuition assistance is available. Able to work on many different aircraft. Very friendly to brand new college graduates.

Cons

Schedules are unrealistic and come from very top executive management with no visibility. Low and mid level engineering employees are overworked with upper management not caring. Schedules and cost cutting are the main driving forces. Processes are non-value-added and waste time.
