Pros

Co-workers are great, and the aviation industry continues to be interesting.

Cons

Where to begin. Senior Leadership is only a couple of steps away from a cult. TB placed the leaders, then the leaders hired other private equity friends. It is the wild, wild west with this team. Job titles are fluid, as management really does whatever they want. People are leaving in droves, and those that haven't left yet are looking elsewhere. I beg you not to work here- it is the most depressing place I've ever worked, and every co-worker feels the same. Work days are 12+ hours, with no time to even run an errand. Corporate calls are cheap propaganda where leaders basically congratulate each other while the actual workers look on. Don't do it.

Pros

The work matters. Aviation software that reaches pilots in the cockpit is not a trivial problem space, and the engineers, product managers, QA, and data teams building it bring an uncompromised love of aviation and a deep commitment to the safety of flight. The domain expertise inside this company is deep, and if you're early in your career in aviation tech, you will learn things here you can't learn anywhere else. Compensation was competitive, and a few of the remaining leaders are strong advocates for their teams.

Cons

Since the private equity acquisition, the priority structure has shifted visibly. The emphasis on commercial customer relationships has lessened, and the company appears to be optimizing for cost reduction over subject-matter expertise. That's a meaningful change in a domain where customer trust is built slowly and lost quickly.
