Pros
-Diversity is very good: one of my transgender teammates was able to come out no problem. I was able to safely report someone for a sexist comment as well. -Pay is ok. -Work life balance is meager. They encourage you to work long hours and on weekends and they do give mod time and sometimes overtime. -Adjustable desks. -People joke about incompetence of upper management. -Information is in a wiki everywhere as well as presentations are everywhere. -Good referral bonus if you refer senior engineers -$10,000 a year for graduate courses.
Cons
-Promotions are political: I was passed over for a promotion even though I was the main person working on my Six Sigma project. A teammate who did almost nothing on Six Sigma and who started later than me got promoted over me. -Overtime and time charging is nickled and dimed to the n'th degree. They constantly remind you that lunch does not count as work and want you to charge tot he nearest 6 minutes (never really enforced though, just threatened) -People are jerks. They yell at you for not knowing things despite the fact that the knowledge transfer is lacking. Even thought there is a wealth of information no one knows where it is. Oh, and if you happen to ask the wrong person a question you will get reamed out in a group email. -They put people where they need them, not based on the person's wants or interests. This severely stymied my career growth. -Their COVID response was and still is lacking. There was no effort made to get the people working in closed areas working remote. And they used thermometers comparable to meat thermometers to test if you had a fever. -Lower ranked people aren't listed too and publicly ridiculed if they make mistakes. -They could not have picked a worse time to merge with United Technologies: they merged during March of 2020 when COVID was at it's worse. Needless to say, I am not surprised at the numerous layoffs on the aerospace side of the business. -They censor out survey responses they don't like. This happened to my wife.
