Pros

A place to see airplanes being built.

Many very smart people in technical areas.

Opportunities to gain experience.

Lots of entry-level positions.

Cons

The company no longer values innovation, nor does it seem to value experience. Do not expect good work-life balance. There is lots of lip service, but that is all. Managers are managing up and are more concerned about metrics that show them in a positive light versus working issues.

Advice to Management

You have a major brain drain coming at you. Many of the unique skills are single-threaded and have little or no capacity to absorb emergent work.
