Pros

If you're a manager, then you will receive a retention bonus.

Cons

If you're an engineer, then you will be replaced by people from Cedar Rapids or India (without the skills/knowledge). The management and project engineers have experience, but no relevant experience (particularly in the mobile space). The GUIs are not designed by UX designers, but by management and systems engineers (primary tasks are going to meetings and writing on wiki pages). The software engineers are routinely tasked with implementing unintuitive GUIs. Rockwell Collins had below average benefits and salary, but UTC has lowered the bar.

Pros

The company has decent benefits

Cons

For the last 2 years the company has been talking a lot about employee wellbeing, leadership values, work-life balance but it’s all just lip service. The company started laying off employees this week despite sales volumes at an all-time high. All indirect open positions are also frozen and hybrid employees have been mandated to return to the office. I cannot find another job fast enough. Employees are clearly disposable - gotta make sure the executives get their fat bonuses
