Pros
Talented engineers. Generally good people to work with.
Kontras
TRU Simulation + Training will work you till you leave. Software engineers have an EXPECTATION to work for free to grow the "new" company into profitability. Will you learn a lot? Yes. But, you can learn anywhere. Unless you really never want to see your family, or simply like working for free STAY AWAY. No overtime, bonuses, or comp time, yet management will see you in a bad light if you aren't willing to give up your weekends to fix management's poor scheduling issues. Then there's the pay. There are very talented engineers that work for TRU, but are never offered an incentive to stay long term. A software engineer leaves once every 2 weeks with the same remark, "I got offered 10-20k over my current salary to do the same thing somewhere else." TRU's salaries are NOT competitive to the market average. BEWARE OF LIES DURING INTERVIEW PROCESS. Any job listed as "Aerodynamics Engineer" or the like will NOT be performing flight dynamics responsibilities. You will sift through aircraft documentation to model the light switches turning on for the first 1-5 years on this job. Oh, did I mention this place is in the middle of nowhere Lutz, FL? Hope you like cow farms, and your local applebees. Yet, they will advertise this position as Tampa, FL. This facility is in LUTZ, and they will pay you Lutz money, not Tampa money.
