Pros

Iconic Company, well-respected as an aviation OEM, great opportunity to learn and understand what goes on behind the technical and business aspect of the company. A great opportunity for an up and coming engineer to learn.

Cons

Incredibly stagnant old-school management style prevalent amongst middle managers. Upper management has good initiatives and talks a good talk but in practice, they allow inexperienced middle managers to treat people with total disrespect, creating a toxic work environment while looking the other way. And don't even try to go to HR as there will be retaliation like it or not and nothing will be done about it. I got caught up with Lay-offs and my most recent manager who had given me good reviews could not do anything for me, Unfortunately ... safely avoided my calls and emails and one can only assume why. Overruled by my previous manager who was a member of the inner circle. It did not matter how many hours of OT one puts in or the dedication to your job, you are left to feel like you are just another number. Expandable and disposable...

Pros

Wfh with covid. Vacation time

Cons

Pay. Yearly raises (merely an inflation adjustment). Executives don't value employees opinions. Office of the future setup is cheap. Health benefits are pathetic for how big the corporation has become. Overly politicized policies and atmosphere

Pros

Not much I can say on the Pro side.

Cons

The company only cares about profits over safety. It was clear with the roll out of the GTF engine and all the trouble it had afterwards. They where so worried about losing market shares that they put an engine out that they new wasn't ready. On the military engines side they used/use unqualified inspectors to inspect parts. When I brought it up they decided that it was time for me to go. So they manufactured an issue and claimed that I violated a quality cardinal rule that is so shady in how they interpret what is a violation or not. I sat in on meetings where they would say that fells like one and this one doesn't.
