Pros

Decent work-life balance and nice facility (although enough parking would help)

Cons

Where to start. Boeing has descended on Jeppesen like a plague. All management positions are now going to Boeing people (some good, some really bad), Boeing culture has replaced what was a fun place to work with arrogance and an inability to recognize the intellectual capital they have in the people at Jepp. And now we get screwed on compensation, massive layoffs are coming, and the entire environment just sucks. There will be a lot of smart, capable people leaving to flee what Boeing has brought -- all because Boeing wants to squeeze cash out of the operation to cover it's crappy airplane programs. Jeppesen has never failed to be profitable, but it's never enough for Boeing. Boeing just sees Jeppesen people as "cogs in the machine". Boeing has no idea that it's approach to Jeppesen will fail miserably -- the intellectual capital can walk out and set up shop somewhere else, whereas people who build airplanes don't have as many options. So Boeing might treat it's employees like they are nothing special, but they will pay a price for how they are "assimilating" Jeppesen.

Pros

This company has a great legacy of pilot safety and has the kind of benefits you would expect from a large company. There were benefits in the form of unique opportunities, including learning how to fly aircraft and instruction related to air traffic controllers. Jeppesen is a Boeing-owned company, so there are also many opportunities to travel to different Boeing partners worldwide.

Cons

Given the nature of many jobs and the connection to flight safety at the company, it can be high-pressure at times. A need to work weekends may arise, especially where safety is concerned. It is a large company, so many jobs carry different levels of pressure, but in my experience, testing flight navigation solutions that are mission-critical to pilot operations will likely compel an employee to put in some extra time to ensure a sound solution that helps pilot and for that matter passenger safety for in flight operations. If you are willing to go the extra distance and occasionally, although it is rare, sacrifice some work-life balance, working with the development and testing of navigation solutions could be a good fit for you.
