Pros

1. If you are looking to chill and not do any work, this is the place to be in. 2. If you are nearing your retirement age and this is going to be your last job, then this is the company to be in because none from this company will hired based on your skill you had before joining this company. Because learning from here will be negative.

Cons

Applicable to only IT-SAP. All other units do cutting edge work. 1. The purpose of setting up this unit (SAP) is not thought through on multiple aspects. Because they wanted to scale up fast due to an government audit observation that they forgot that talent is important. So they took the easy path, they hired managers who were asked to go from their previous organization. These folks could join early. This set the rot in the system from the top. 2. HR is only on paper so don't expect anything. 3. Boeing 737 Max will have a definite impact on the viability of this unit. Because when the HQ starts ways to increase their bottom line, this unit will be on the top list because none of them create any impact. This is in case if you have an offer and planning to join.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
