Pros

You get to work on interesting products that goes in the aircraft and once in a while, you get to go see it when you go on a plane. The people who you work with are the ones that keeps you going and there still needs to be a lot of improvement and understanding the products, quality factors involved more than pushing KPIs and "hitting" the target. Yes you want to do all of that however, sacrificing engineering design and quality just to hit the KPI is not worth in the end.

Cons

management needs to stop micromanaging everything, bad decisions from top to the bottom. KPIs over quality is a bad example to structure the company by. Respect the employees and understand their painpoints. Compensation is subpar. Healthcare is okay.
