Pros

My team was very friendly and supportive. I was an intern but I was treated like a regular employee. They allowed me to advance at my own pace with no pressures and were glad to help find me more challenging tasks when I requested it.

Cons

I have not worked long enough to know any downsides however from my experience, which would be the same in other companies, was that you were limited the tasks you can do when you don't hav e the proper clearance.

Pros

Young spirit with young people who want thing (project) to move. On the edge of the technologie. Not very structure but the company can turn on a dime.

Cons

Since the pyramid of management is a maximum of three levels: You, your boss and the president of the company. Don't think to move high in the hierarchic.

Pros

You participate in the making of outstanding products. You have the chance to work on the best flight simulators in the industry.

Cons

It is a very big company. You can feel sometimes like you're a simple number to the company. But I guess this is similar to any big company.
