Business Outlook

Pros

Very stable company. World leader in flight simulators. Friendly workplace.

Cons

Low salary. Heavy reliance on legacy technology. Even the latest products are merely wrappers for the same old technology. Tasking can be boring - same stuff day-in day-out for years. Architects and senior engineers are unwilling to explore new frameworks, technologies, and design patterns.
