Pros

Very talented and motivated engineers

Cons

Lots of non-technical management managing technical direct reports Lack of career growth Monopoly money stock options Bonuses only given to level 4 and above despite majority of work being done by level 1-3 engineers Constant reorgs. Varies from just changing manager to switching to an entirely different program/discipline Vaporware; lots of programs have design changes that keep sending you back to square 1. Makes you feel like what you work on will never get launched. Management taken over by Amazon

Pros

Exciting product and mission. Passionate people.

Cons

Much of senior leadership is highly inexperienced in aerospace. Making decisions as low-complex high-rate manufacturing, when the company is high-complex low-rate manufacturing. Many rapid decisions disregard safety and quality outcomes.

Pros

Pay is decent for the offered position.

Cons

They will lie about you if they want you gone. They will overwhelm you with work and expect you to complete it without overtime. Then yell at you for not taking overtime. Leadership will stab you in the back and shake your hand.
