Pros

As a software engineer, the work is exciting. Interfacing with and modeling various avionic packages. With the ever changing world of avionics it never gets stagnant for long. Travel, there is always opportunities for travel. From domestic training facilities to international customers. Stability, this company has been around a long time and appears to be poised to be around as long as planes are flown by human pilots.

Cons

Compensation seems comparatively low for what we do. Travel, occasionally the extended periods away from home can be depressing. I feel that we are so specialized that once you are around for awile you lose marketablity to move outside of simulation work.

Pros

PTO, somewhat of a 'decent' salary

Cons

Management, both in the center & corporate. The work tasks are too demanding for the BS pay we get. The verbal abuse we get from pilots. Management has zero issue letting you know when you've done something wrong but if they do something wrong.. nothing happens? Oh I'm away from my computer for more than 15 minutes and now I'm getting scolded by not being on the phone? We can't speak freely. We have to watch what we say on the phone cause everything is recorded. The St. Louis location is a joke, with their petty front desk staff & gaslighting managers. The only people who are cool in the St Louis location are their PM's. This whole company needs a redo. Oh & if you're a biological female.. you're not safe if a transgender woman wants to use your bathroom.
