Pros

Flexible work that depends on contracts. You might get lucky and get on a good project, but there is no guarantee.

Cons

Since dependent on contracts, if these are cancelled/not renewed or not won, then you may be out of a job. The company doesn't have many projects internally for engineers to work on. Upper management is profit oriented. Would not recommend working here.

Pros

- Interesting and varied work, many different opportunities available

Cons

- Since the private equity buyout, there has been a lot of turnover and instability - the company used to be people-first, everything takes a back seat to profits, do not expect to be taken care of

Pros

Previously had excellent management and the teams I worked with were all some of the easiest and best workers Frequent company sponsored events

Cons

Many teams had poor management and planning Handling of contracts was frequently delayed and caused undue stress While expected, given less than a week notice for official layoff notice with extremely poor communication before and after notice Quarterly benefits were always late, sometimes being almost a full quarter late after being announced One of my biggest concerns when I was hired, and at various points throughout my employment, was what would happen if the contract I was working on wasn't renewed/cancelled but I was continuously informed that if a contract I was on wasn't renewed or cancelled, as long as I was in good standing, Special Aerospace Services would transfer me to a new contract or, at worst, internal work would be found for me until a new contract was established. This happened under original management but once ownership of the company changed, I was laid off with less than a weeks notice Average to below average compensation Company culture has completely disappeared as profits are all that seem to matter now
