Not exactly a stimulating place to work in....

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, reasonably interesting for someone who has never worked in a simulation environment before (though it gets stale very quickly). Wide variety of projects/customers to work on. Possibility to travel worldwide and make some decent money.

Cons

Monotonous tasks, very few pro-active and motivated people to work with. Work schedule which changes on a week-to-week (or day-to-day) basis depending on project situation. Lots of evening and night shifts. Personal time becomes a precious commodity.

Pros

Good place to start a career, lots of opportunities to learn technologies and business. Pretty good work/life balance. Good salary.

Cons

Long hours are expected, but overtime is not always recognized. Upper management needs to communicate more with all lower employees

Pros

You participate in the making of outstanding products. You have the chance to work on the best flight simulators in the industry.

Cons

It is a very big company. You can feel sometimes like you're a simple number to the company. But I guess this is similar to any big company.
