Business outlook
Pros
It's satisfying to see your products (airplanes) all over the sky and at airports. We are on the leading edge of technologies.
Cons
The culture is not progressive enough but it's slowly changing (not fast enough). Advancement/promotion decisions are based on the number of years worked vs how capable an individual is. The company is having a hard time retaining new hires (Gen x and Gen y) and most babyboomers (majority of the current workforce) are at retirement age. Big brain drain ahead and the company is not promoting fast enough. Lastly, there are so many incompetent employees that are holding senior positions which are demoralizing the motivated junior employees (often leave out of frustrations).
