      Decent

      Phd student

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Internationally recognised, good networking opportunities

      Cons

      No middle management - one person is the manager for a lot of people which makes it very hard to get actual supervision as a PhD student

      Excellent technical environment with strong impact on aerospace innovation

      Cae engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Outstanding opportunities to work on cutting-edge aerospace projects with real impact. Strong technical infrastructure and access to advanced simulation tools like ANSYS. Collaborative culture where engineers can drive significant improvements in product performance and cost efficiency. Direct exposure to senior leadership through regular presentations. Meaningful R&D work that translates into tangible results for clients and the aerospace industry.

      Cons

      High expectations for data-driven results and performance metrics can be demanding. The pace of work required to manage end-to-end projects while maintaining quality can be challenging. Balancing technical depth with stakeholder communication requires significant time investment. Limited information to provide additional constructive feedback based on the experience shared.
