Pros

Descent medical plans and 401K benefits.

Cons

* Company is becoming a DirectTV cable company since they hired a lot of upper managers from there. * A lot of long(10+ years) time middle managers and engineers are making it their retirement home over there in the same team and position for so many years, and so they only know how to do things the old way and not able to adapt to new technologies or skills outside the company. Little that they know that sitting in their comfort zone for so long is deteriorating their skills and IQ. There's only so much you can learn and expand about IFE and this PAC division only makes IFE. * Compensation is not competitive compared to tier 1 tech companies. Oh wait, that's because PAC is not a tier 1 nor tier 2 company by any means. * They have a low hiring bar and therefore a lot of mediocre engineers and managers got hired easily there. * People get promoted based on how much their managers like them instead of contributions/accomplishments to the company.

Some good, some bad but overall I had a good experience here.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Your peers. You're all in the same boat and share the same experiences. - Meet people and make friends from all over the world, PAC is a global company. - Work/life balance, for my group at least. - Engineering focused, at least it was in the beginning. - Company is top dog in the industry - you get to experience the full spectrum of customers and products in the IFE business.

Cons

- Power tripping managers, employees know who they are. My condolences if you work for one. - Lack of direction from managers - Based on the above point, inexperienced managers. My observation during my time here was that the inept were promoted/hired to be managers because: a. They wouldn't be a threat to their superior's position. and/or b. They were friends with upper management. - Company is top dog in the industry - Complacency, lack of innovation, resort to copying other lesser competitor's products. Fault lies with deficient marketing team. - Engineering silos (although this seems common at most corporations, it seemed particularly bad here)
