Pros

Exciting technology and intersting applications. Airfone invented the air-to-ground personal communications systems and were the phones in the back of airline seats for many years. We worked with a number of commercial airlines as well as the general aviation industry.

Cons

Tied to the airline industry and subject to that industry's profitablity cycles. When the airlines were doing well, there were funds to invest in the technology and marketing programs. Unfortunately, when times were not so good (as they have been for a while), Airfone suffered as well with lack of use, and therefore falling revenues. It will be interesting to see the future of this industry as broadband systems are developed and implemented.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
