Pros

Still generally a friendly workplace People like to help others (but increasingly don't have time) Interesting and challenging work Awesome technology

Cons

Too much focus on short sighted, meaningless performance measures You can raise concerns, voice opinions, protect your work / life balance but expect to be penalized at review time BUs are under-resourced and unable to make their own decisions Too many processes, management levels, people interfering with everyday work and then wondering why efficiency is low Promoting smart people with poor people management skills into management positions Basically, all the cons you would normally find in a large, bureaucratic organization

Pros

This is a good place to get experience if you're interested in Aerospace, IT, Automotive, CAD, Engineering space. There are opportunities to learn and advance your career if you make the right connections.

Cons

Management is very unorganized due to constant shift in priorities. Be prepared to have a new manager assigned quarterly which will impact expectations for performance evaluations. This is a French company that manages business entities around the world. The US and French management are very disconnected. If you are assigned a manager who is based overseas, you will absolutely have a difficult time and minimal work life balance.
