Pros

Decent Benefits, some great lower level managers.

Cons

Machiavellian management. Discrimination against male employees. Good managers never get promoted, those that have ethics issues skyrocket to the top, or even get brought back after they leave...

Pros

Great people, good lateral mobility, great place to have as a career job, great name recognition, good flexible time policies

Cons

Poor management is stretched thin (25 people per manager who also has technical signature responsibility), limited opportunities for travel, limited opportunities for responsibility, risk averse, promote people who have been there the longest, required to sit around and learn slowly before you are given any sort of responsibility, huge emphasis on history. 2 year outlook looks poor and site depends on a few contracts coming in from military. Shift of focus of the site from design to manufacturing. Manufacturing culture and union are awful.

Pros

Industry standard pay in a LCOL area Experienced engineers are pretty good, and enjoy teaching Some groups allow you to get good first-hand experience, early in your career You get to work on engines! Only a few companies worldwide do this kind of work Potential for travel (to the UK) Location downtown is nice, and good proximity to downtown

Cons

Diversity is negligible. Mostly old white men. High turnover in the 4-5yr experienced engineers. Many people come here straight out of college, work for a few years, and leave. So you're left with young and very old engineers. Not much choice on what to work on. Always under-staffed, sometimes OT is pushed from above. Travel ban (no one can travel unless explicitly approved by execs) Massive layoffs when the company isn't doing well Project priority is taken much higher than employees A lot of old infrastructure. Facilities, to IT, to test equipment. Nothing gets upgraded unless it breaks. Research the company before - RR bought AE a while ago, so most of the Indy site is just supporting engines that were designed decades ago. Very little R&D locally, but that will probably change in the near future. Until then, get ready to work on old programs. Budget cuts are constant.
