Not what it used to be

Business Outlook

Pros

Highly collaborative global team with industry leading technology and solutions

Cons

With recent mergers Collins has lost the small company feel that used to distinguish it as a great place to work. Individual judgement and empowerment have been replaced with volumes of inflexible corporate policies and approvals for trivial decisions.

Pros

Good pay for the area

Cons

You’re just a number. I know most big companies are but we didn’t used to be before the UTC acquisition and even worse with RTX now.

Financial numbers games, engineering layoffs

Business Outlook

Pros

They pay 100% of further education. Work hours are great (people on average work a little over 40 hours). Flexible hours depending on manager. 4 weeks paternity leave. Big emphasis on inclusive culture.

Cons

Like many corporations, there is emphasis on gaming financial numbers to satisfy investors. The gaming numbers hurts efficiency and employee moral. Engineers layed off in an area where overall business is growing. If it’s not customer funded then always uncertainty if program will get cancelled temporarily or permanently with no notice. Rockwell Collins used to be a company with secure and stable jobs with ok pay. After got acquired by UTC, then merged with Raytheon, the culture has got worse, and there is less thought about employees. Consequently or not, business has been performing worse than was prior to merger. Engineers forced to focus on money more than innovation. Benefits have got worse.
