Pros

The projects are very interesting from the technical point of view

Cons

Middle management is terrible in Ireland. Was bullied on emails by a counterpart from UK, talk with my boss in Ireland, nothing happened. The excuse to do nothing was that the English person that bullied me, had vast amount of technical experience and he was a fundamental part to deliver the aviation projects. Only priority for aviation is money. Poor communication. No vision. No objectives as a group. Poor management of KPIs.

Pros

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Cons

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
