Pros

The benefits that is offered by Pratt's bigger parent, UTC allows working engineers to obtain a M.S degree while still working on the job. Pratt has a collegian environment even if it is a big company, people are divided into much smaller groups where the manager in your immediate group is led by a technical manager. So the end-result is that, groups are very focused on the core technology. The company tries to be as transparent and accommodating to its employees. There are Jr. engineers who start and lead multidisciplinary projects. Advancement for engineers come quickly for those who want to stay on either the technical side or the management side.

Cons

Pratt & Whitney is a huge company, so expect the internal company politics that comes with the territory. Like all other UTC companies, employees are expected to drink the UTC-ACE, 6-S koolaid (read: many motivational speaking conferences). It might be frustrating at times to deal with volumes of bureaucracy and paperwork to push your idea through, if you are the self-starter type.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to move up within the company. Willing to pay for schooling through Raytheon's education program. Plenty of PTO and sick time.

Cons

I feel that the location I was at did not pay competitively.

Pros

Concern for Safety is a legitimate priority. The work is very process oriented and theres little uncertainty or chaos in the day to day. Theres a formalized way of doing everything. Work-life balance is good for the american standard.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old so the way things get done is over-constrained and very resistant to change. As a result work can be monotonous and Information, while abundant, is extremely difficult to reliably retreive. You will work harder not smarter.
