Pros

Interesting products, great people, challenging problems to solve, good pay and benefits. 9/80 Fridays are awesome. Generous PTO allowance

Cons

The UTC acquisition led to a lot of changes in leadership that I did not see as positive. People who were unfamiliar with our products, processes, organization, etc. were put in charge and wanted to come in and change a lot of things that were working. Since leaving it sounds like things have continued down that same path.

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
