Pros

If you love aviation, CX is the best choice. It invests in the best products, opening up ample opportunities to grow. People are great to work with. You make lifelong friends here.

Cons

Because of the complexity of the business and the collaborative people culture here, things might not be as fast-moving (e.g. decisions, response to market) as quickly as some might like.
