Pros

Cessna continually promotes from within as well as developing talent from outside.

Cons

In several cases, the "best" candidate for a position was overlooked due to degree requirements. In some cases, the candidate was already an employee and had been doing the job.

Pros

Being a part of building an aircraft is great. Compensation for the area is fairly decent.

Cons

Cessna is in a very cyclical industry. The majority of my time at Cessna was in the recession. Layoffs started six months after I started and I spent the next 2.5 years wondering if my position was getting chopped in the next round of layoffs. I found that to be the one area of stress in my job.
