Pros

Fantastic opportunities and a very easy internal process with great HR. I feel very privileged to work in the Engine Manufacturing centre, this is a world class facility offering lots of job opportunities to a wide range of people from different back grounds being treated the same at every level .

Keeping this a world class facility will be an on going process, so installing that into new associates will be testing.
