Pros

Clever products, good connections with govornement. If you're a geek looking for fellows, this is the place for you.

Cons

Unclear direction, incredibly complex reporting lines, paralysis of decision making, "why we should not do this" attitude. With everyone having (at least) 3 reporting lines, it's a complex nightmare to get anything done. The focus of the conpany seems to be entirely internal amongst the management ("how do we get the intercompany charges sorted out ?", "Who is reposible for this and who do we need to talk to ?") Most favorite words of those running the organisation - "You need to understand the process. It's not as simple as that..."

Pros

Great benefits. Good pay. Relaxed atmosphere with a lot of funny people (lots of ex-military).

Cons

Work can be slow with the decline of the airline industry.
