Pros

The company offers a range of attractive benefits, such as a low employee contribution for a Multisport card, fruit and vegetable provided twice a week, social events, barbecues, an on-site gym within the building, and a massage once every six months. However, it gives the impression that these benefits are intended to mask an absolutely inadequate and disproportionate level of compensation. I would personally prefer a higher salary to bananas and mandarins. The only genuine advantage is the international team and the opportunity to use foreign languages on a daily basis.

Cons

In addition to inadequate compensation, the company suffers from poor leadership and inappropriate behavior on the part of management. Unfortunately, despite concerns being raised by multiple parties, one should not expect any sense of fairness or accountability, which has ultimately led to the departure of several employees. This, in turn, has resulted in an increased workload for the remaining staff, without any financial or other form of compensation. There was no room for professional development, education, or full-time training, not even for trainee employees. Tasks are approached with a focus on quantity rather than quality, despite the fact that this is the aviation industry. The functioning of the EHS department is also questionable. Overall, the company creates the illusion that employees are well taken care of and that there is someone they can turn to.

Pros

The engineers who work hard and take themselves seriously are still working here and are great to collaborate with and solve problems. The projects are interesting, as long as your manager is considering your interests and career path. There are ample opportunities in commercial and military, with the commercial being more of a remote/Teams environment and military being more in person. Bonus structure is strong, 15%. Incentive pay for coming to work. Work life balance mostly depends on the job you sign up for.

Cons

Managers may not have come up through the engineering ranks and so they may not understand us. They focus more on process, like Flight Deck, than having actual knowledge to solve problems. The technical expertise in the sub section and especially section level has gone down in the last 5-10 years. This less technical management class seems to be impacting engineering turnover among the IC’s. Additionally, constant pivots, often due to inconsistent funding, also decrease morale. Lastly, it’s possible your manager doesn’t care as much about your career as they do just getting tasks done / covering the bases. Basically non-existent health care (very high premium and deductible for larger families). Biased hiring through Next Engineers.
