Great Potential, Poor Management

Pros

Salary, benefits, and the potential of working with talented people.

Being on the ground floor of a new company, a new type of aircraft, and having much internal interaction.

Cons

Startup, with all that entails. An unsophisticated environment.

Ambitious, poor performing management. As usual, the majority of the work is performed by ME, with no cross-functional support.

No ability to affect build planning; all done offsite. Rework planning is an endless loop due to an unrealistic workflow.

SC works to paper, Seattle just does the work in the smartest manner. No open, close, open, close shift by shift endlessly following each other, doing and redoing as the jobs fall.

Advice to Management

If you go to the trouble to seek out and hire (or transfer) experienced personnel, entertain the possibility of actually using their talent. Prepare to be underutilized.
