Pros
Specific to Aerospace - Ethics take priority - Decent pay compared to market standards - Decent learning beyond senior Engg. Level - WFH (3/2) provides flexibility
Cons
Specific to Aerospace Senior Management (India) - No decision making capacity with regards to product development. Authority lies with the engineering management in the plants. This hinders the speed of new development efforts with regards to multiple approvals / reviews that are required - Multiple levels of managers who do not have technical expertise but are tasked with leading product accountability. This leads to inefficiency with actions that do not have any long term or short term business impact - Constantly changing goals including initiatives with a ton of metrics with little to no alignment with businesses - Multiple stretch efforts for initiatives with an unsaid expectation of working for a minimum of 12 hrs a day. This takes away much needed time from solving technical issues that support business objectives - Micromanagement through constant reviews and follow ups in the name of help provided
