Pros

Interesting projects. C++/Java for coding. Perl/Python for scripts. Includes web dev for tools. ORACLE for DB. Plenty of guidance for projects. A lot of travel. Many development sites with potential to move between them. Software impacts in a real way. Leader in aviation software. A lot of personal growth potential. Very multi-cultural.

Cons

No bleeding edge tools. Development centers are not always close to amenities (for example, London one is near the edge of London). Salary not as good as the banking industry or tech giants.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
