Pros

Every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor executive leadership. Terrible financial performance. IT infrastructure was severely lacking. (I was surprised we were using computers and not still typewriters.) For all the amazing individual employees working hard to make CAES successful— the poor executive leadership in Crystal City — is negatively impacting everyone. Cobham was the weakest company in terms of leadership and management I’ve ever worked for.... I could not get out quick enough.

Pros

Opportunity to grow and learn as a new engineer or young professional.

Cons

It's a fairly small location, and after a few years of experience, you will need to move on in order to get a promotion.
