Pros

It’s a solid company with lots of interesting work and smart people. I saw and worked with a large swath of the company, including some parts of P&W and corporate / treasury / R&D / IT. Like any company there are a lot of good spots and a lot of bad ones. There is a broad distribution of quality among different departments and managers. The company, when I was there, tends to be moving towards more rigid roles, which has pros / cons. Middle and lower management were / are over reaching their skill set and unknowingly causing chaos and scarring sections of the company. Rigid roles hopefully will help. But it limits creativity and ability to see a problem. It’s nice to be able to simply reach out and fix it.

Cons

There are a lot of skeletons in various closets. The company is a mess on the under side, and the supply chains are continually on fire, with no near term solutions. This has taken a bit of focus off everything else. Long term solution is moving all the financial systems to one platform, which is leading to permanent increased costs and edge cases everywhere, and management metrics are single layered accounting garbage, so they are constantly trying to cut costs at the loss of long term value, and employee retention. I was a fixer in my group, I went and found and packaged solutions and handed them out like it was bagels or day old bread. I rarely sought credit, just enjoyed finding and fixing things. Saved the company tens of millions while there. I guess I made it look too easy and didn’t fight enough for credit. They decided to eliminate my position as a cost cutting solution, and I was laid off 2 days before my mom died of cancer, and I was her care giver. They knew that, but laid me off.
