Pros
Interesting projects and potential to learn a lot Passionate people
Cons
Engineers are consistently being asked to give more to this company which frankly is giving us less and less. We're expected to work 10-12 hour days but don't get bonuses despite the company having record revenue the past few years. We're constantly fighting fires with no end or help in sight - there has no little no hiring the last 6 months, and the projects keep piling up. As a result, burnout is a common sentiment around the office. It doesn't help that the salary is at least 10k less than what other aerospace companies offer, and the company did close to nothing to help employees during the pandemic - we were actually incentivized employees to come into the office during the height. In fact, there's no consideration for making sure people stay distanced while working on projects, and senior project managers take advantage of the fact that their work allows them to work from home, so they require engineers to go in more often to do the hands-on-work. The assumption is that since we're all passionate about what we do, there's no need to pay us fairly or expect us to have a work/life balance.
