Pros

The chance to work on some of the most innovative aviation technology. A sense of purpose goes a long way and it's not a stretch to say that almost any plane you've taken in North America, chances are the pilot was trained on a CAE Simulator

Cons

Very large, democratic company. People do get lots of chances to move up, however it may be difficult at times
