Pros

Challenging work, good domain (Avionics), lots to learn, new technologies can be introduced and experimented upon

Cons

Needs immense revamp of infrastructure like IT, HR, facilities, Software Tools group, etc... The Management needs to think if they give quality of hardware and time in office, the employees will give you back quality product. Uses VDI for development (whose actual use is for call centres, where u just need to open a browser), which hampers the productivity. For every use there are multiple software tools being used, which hampers the compatibility & dependency.

Pros

Good benefit and vacation. Other than that, everything is considered "cons" but I just typed it here cos it requires 20 word minimum. There!

Cons

Waaayyy to much politics. The wanabe(s) got set up as the front runners and the true geniuses got pushed way in the back. What a team layout!! Only heading for disasters
