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.
