Great for old people

Pros

The benefits are solid and the people are great. It’s an okay experience overall, and there’s definitely value in employment for some people there.

Cons

My experience at this company was not as fulfilling as I had hoped. The work environment felt disorganized, which made it challenging to stay on track with tasks. Unfortunately, there wasn't much opportunity for creativity or growth, and I found the work to be fairly repetitive. On top of that, the pay didn't seem to match the level of effort expected from employees. While the company may work for some, I personally found it lacking in key areas like challenge, development, and fair compensation.

Work life balance, Decent Benefits, Excellent Health Insurance with Top-up option. Exciting Aerospace Domain.

Cons

Uncertainty regarding business in short to medium term. Company is struggling with cash flow and inventory, supply chain issues since last couple of years. Due to this cost cutting measures have become quite regular. Micro-mangement in few teams ( depends on manager ).
