Pros

Technical depth in the company is phenomenal, and training (if your K-level mgr will approve it) is high quality and plentiful.

Cons

Unless you are a software engineer or working at Ann St, you'll be producing paper. Lots and lots of paper.

The most technical thing a hardware engineer will do is write the statement of work for the numpties in subcontracts so they can go and pay someone else to do the work.

Unstable structure with the exec team playing musical chairs continuously.

Big aviation focus in all the PR material and very little mention of the real engineering work done in Australia, which is C3 or bolting bits and pieces onto US-built aircraft.

IJCS treats employees as interchangeable cattle with no real individualization of roles or shaping of careers on an individual basis.

Advice to Management

Rationalize the mandatory AU and US training. "Guarding our homeland" is a pile of garbage to Aussie employees; it ain't our home.

Outsource the HR department. No way the company will grow with that level of incompetence in hiring and responding (if ever) to external applicants.

If you can't get rid of IJCS, at least give the staff meaningful job titles, just like you have for the managers and executives.
