Pros

Vacation time is generous. (no sick days though, so don't get sick)

Cons

Benefits are OK at best (401k match maxed at 5k, which is super low for the industry). Pay is on the lower end of industry, yearly increases are very low usually do not cover cost of living/ inflation. Management has ZERO accountability, everyone will sit in a meeting and just talk about what could be done when it comes to do it no one will do anything. The entire company is "all talk". When you are working on a project expect the direction from management to change 50 times a day (not customer driven changes).

Pros

I really enjoyed my time with IAV. It was a great company to work for. Great benefits with flexible hours if needed.

Cons

The work load wasn't always consistent. They closed down the dyno lab and laid everyone off.

Pros

Nice people. Good benefits. Decent swag.

Cons

Extremely poor management. CEO was changed right after I joined. Company is a subsidiary of the parent company in Germany but EXTREMELY tethered to it which makes it extremely hard to operate. Crazy outdated processes (CRM, expense reporting, travel, etc.) making working extremely inefficient. Near zero engineering support in the US despite needing to provide engineering services to US-based clients. Basically a fake it until you make it office riding on the reputation of the German parent. Had me speak on panels and represent the company to clients for an entire week only to lay me off the day after it was over. Steer clear.
