Business Outlook

Pros

Large company with plenty of positions, majority of roles are engineering and operations. Solid avionics business with existing customer base.

Cons

Big company processes and multiple levels of leadership. Culture shifted since bought in 2018 by UTC and further after merger with Raytheon. Specifically, the incentive (bonus) structure used to be for everyone and made you feel like your efforts directly affected that part of your income each year, however, new structure only provides bonuses to P5/M5 and higher. 5-year outlook is solid, but Collins is at the tail end of selling equipment from the boom of early 2000s architecture. There's some concerns with lack of traction selling ~2015 architecture updates. Greater concern on 15 year outlook but the company knows we have a problem may not realize how big the problem is.
