Pros

Great minds, and really nice people to work with on various projects.

Cons

The pace is really un-dynamic. If you are used to a more dynamic environment you will feel yourself a bit out of the real world.

Pros

Production employees were wonderful to get to know and work with. A lot of aviation experience in the room when those ladies and gentlemen were around.

Cons

The disability insurance policy chosen for the FAL employees was poorly researched, poorly implemented, and likely the cheapest that they could find. Management is only consistent on a few things: dishonesty, unethical workplace practices, and looking out only for themselves. Upon hiring production employees, piles of promises were made very few were followed through on. Most were outright denied once everyone had been relocated to Hamburg for training. On top of this unfortunately very accurate circumstance, all employees that were not a part of a very obvious clique that had formed in management were constantly observed and the goings on of our personal lives were reported to HR in great detail albeit half-truths. This obviously made the work environment highly hostile, and spilled over considerably into our personal lives. HR had two distinct faces, one acting as some sort of "sweetheart" and the superior acting as a schoolyard bully. They rarely worked for the employees in their charge even as they promised to be the "lifeline" for us while we were four thousand miles from home. Lies about benefits, pay raises, bonuses, workplace culture, and general treatment were put to us like an indoctrination during on boarding, and nearly immediately abandoned once we were out of earshot. Management, most notably human resources, fails to treat their employees as human beings. They only make good their promises or admit failure, dishonesty, or maltreatment once backed into a corner.
