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

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.
