Pros

Pay and benifits are great compared to the majority of aviation mechanic jobs out there. Interesting system and capabilities. Coworkers

Cons

As far as UAV companies go, they pay on the low end, expect more out of you and wonder why you would want to have a weekend off after coming home from a 6 month overseas trip. There is no gaurantee as to the amount of money you will make in a given year, I will bring in almost 40k less than i did last year. Management is horrible, most of the higher ups are all about running everyone else over to make them selves look that much better in the managements eyes, training takes a back seat to trying to make themselves look like golden children. Do NOT expect respect from these people

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
