Pros

* Smart and talented coworkers * Laid back work environment * Some international work opportunities

Cons

* Very few options for project work * Work is not particularly innovative, challenging, or interesting * Low salaries * Overpaid and top-heavy management. Why does such a small company need so many VPs? * Nearly all top management was brought in from the outside * No training or professional development opportunities. Every hour you work must be charged to a project and must be directly related to the project * Uncertain future

Pros

- Great work / life balance. Despite lots of work, you never feel forced to work beyond the normal hours. - Lots of experience. Many of the employees have worked 15 or 20+ years with the company. Coupled with that, lots of team chemistry. Everyone knows each other and has worked together a long time so things run very smoothly. - Excellent work environment. There's almost no office politics, everyone is a team player and helps each other out to deliver. Sometimes it feels more like a family than an office. - Recently, company was acquired by Stratify Aerospace, which is a big positive as the company is now US-based again. Due to this, the company is currently full-time remote although there are plans in the works to get office space. - HR is great and really works with you to help support you. -Very friendly and welcoming to new-hires. Lots of support to help get you up to speed with the work. -Stable work environment. There's not a lot of crazy changes to the overall plan as management does a good job organizing and streamlining the work for you.

Cons

- No or very limited upward mobility. Likely, people working over you have done it for over a decade and so you very unlikely to advance your career through promotions here. - You'll probably make less money here than you would other places for the same work.
