Pros

Innovative design opportunities, some great coworkers

Cons

Job security is limited due to constant restructuring, budgets have been cut for almost all extracurriculars. Collins has lost its charm and is now a corporate hellscape.

Pros

Great resume builder to have Aerospace industry experience, your actual experience and mileage may vary. Its heavily layered and structured so be ready for a lot of red tape. it could be a good and bad thing to have. A lot of policies to know and a ton of redundancy - trust me you want to see this in aerospace. decent career opportunities. everything on paper looks good, but in practice is another, well...

Cons

a ton of fragile egos in the intellectual/professional field, and many have positional authority or influence to be weaponized and have you removed or make your life miserable. the work that you do will be stolen and people you've never heard or seen will swoop in and take your credit. being reactionary is rewarded while being proactive just looks like you have nothing to do. most leaders across the board perceive with their minds and not with their eyes. in short no due process just hearsay. layoffs happen often so job security is very questionable, people selected are friends look out for friends and not reflective of the business needs.
