Collins Aerospace reviews

You are mandated to be on-call 24/7, even on your personal vacation. This would make sense if this were a critical or 'AOG' role, but there were no urgent requests. Even if you work hard and put in 10-12 hour days, productivity and results were meaningless. Zero support and respect from management, which was very troubling. No opportunities for training or self-improvement. These are just a few factors which caused many people leaving for other companies. Extremely negative atmosphere, in an old, dark, and stuffy building. HR was extremely unprofessional, and not helpful whatsoever.

Unfortunately, the leadership at this Company has went downhill over the last year or so. Unrealistic financial task gets pushed down to the businesses and when those numbers aren’t met, short term cost cutting decisions are made, like no travel and layoffs. This has caused attrition to pick up once again (there was significant attrition during Covid) and the already large workloads become even greater for those remaining. Unrealistic expectations of management to improve processes and forecasting when we can barely meet their tight deadlines and non value-add churn of questions and endless ad-hoc analyses is going to continue to drive away top performers to places with better work-life balance. Add to this the mandate that most people need to return to the office full-time after picking up significant work during Covid and the only reason we get the work done is because we multi-task during zoom meetings and can work at our most productive times at home, the Company and it’s CEO are setting up the working level employees (non-management) for failure. The amount of meetings during Covid tripled from prior to Covid, but most of us handled it well because we were at home and could manage our own time. Forcing us back to the office full-time with meetings all day and heavy workloads will end up causing further burnout and missed deliverables. Management doesn’t seem to understand the cause and effect here. While technology seems to be constantly updated, the core financial systems and VPN connection tends to cause constant interruptions and challenges to meeting deadlines during close and forecast each month. The help desk is anything but helpful in times of need.
