Pros

People are friendly. There is great freedom and autonomy. Products are unique to the defense business. Opportunities exist to move and/or work on products at other divisions of the corporation.

Cons

The defense industry is slow paced. Management has little drive. Creative thinking is not in abundance. Processes are outdated. Little employee diversity.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, a smaller "mom and pop" company in a big industry has its pros. Recent changes in executive leadership making employees optimistic that positive change is forthcoming. Great flex benefits if you are in the right position to do so.

Cons

Clicky, tight knit circles don't promote much growth unless you're "in". Upper management is highly bureaucratic and has "old-school" mentality (pay your dues, serve your time instead of caring about skillsets or experience outside of company). Everyone talks about "the old AAI" but I wasn't around to experience it. Best thing that could happen to AAI would be to reach a deal with some of its higher earning and bigger competitors like NG, LM, or Boeing. That might dust off the shelves and allow for a more modern business culture to prevail - and help establish clear forward direction and efficient and valuable processes.

Pros

They used to have a pension retirement plan, so for me that was a good thing. Current hires don't have that option.

Cons

They currently are in a "Circle the Wagons" mentality
