Pros
- Valuable engineering industry experience without needing a technical degree. - Opportunities for leadership roles - Working with aerospace companies - Work life balance
Cons
- Work is often repetitive data entry and could be automated in most cases. - Required to remain billable even if work is not readily available. - Terrible relationship with customer leadership. Seen as expendable and non essential partners. - Little vision for how they support and innovate for the customer and happy to sit on the work they have as it slowly gets taken away. - Strict margins allow for only minimal raises year over year that don't out pace inflation. - Salaries not in line with industry standards. - Taking on additional responsibilities rarely leads to an equivalent increase in pay.
