Pros

The people are very nice.

Cons

Management has increasingly become an entity of it's own. There are Managers for Managers and Directors for Managers and VP's for Directors... what are all these managers for? Waste of time, money and a ton of hot air.

Pros

Good Benefits. Easy place to sit around and earn a paycheck without really contributing too much. Learning together program that provides the capability to further education is awesome. If you make a mistake, well you'll get another chance almost guaranteed.

Cons

Not challenging. Management is poor at best and flat out lies to its employees. Difficult to move up if under the age of 40. There are a ton of incompetant people who hold senior engineering and management positions. Inept people are put to the side instead of removed. It is a good old boys club that rewards its own and takes care of them. Directors comonly encourage the lower level managers to play political games instead of solving problems. There are double standards about how people are treated. People routinely ignore you when they don't like the answers they hear.

Pros

It's satisfying to see your products (airplanes) all over the sky and at airports. We are on the leading edge of technologies.

Cons

The culture is not progressive enough but it's slowly changing (not fast enough). Advancement/promotion decisions are based on the number of years worked vs how capable an individual is. The company is having a hard time retaining new hires (Gen x and Gen y) and most babyboomers (majority of the current workforce) are at retirement age. Big brain drain ahead and the company is not promoting fast enough. Lastly, there are so many incompetent employees that are holding senior positions which are demoralizing the motivated junior employees (often leave out of frustrations).
