Pros

Not much I can say on the Pro side.

Cons

The company only cares about profits over safety. It was clear with the roll out of the GTF engine and all the trouble it had afterwards. They where so worried about losing market shares that they put an engine out that they new wasn't ready. On the military engines side they used/use unqualified inspectors to inspect parts. When I brought it up they decided that it was time for me to go. So they manufactured an issue and claimed that I violated a quality cardinal rule that is so shady in how they interpret what is a violation or not. I sat in on meetings where they would say that fells like one and this one doesn't.

Pros

Global company. Many smart people. A desire to win.

Cons

Have you ever worked at a company where people rarely smile? Too many employees are unhappy or stressed...and just going through the motions instead of being excited about working here. Continuous restructuring within departments. Poor management. Many scenarios of employees being treated unfairly by incompetent managers while HR looks the other way.
