Complete Mess in Management Decisions - Staff Project Engineer Collins Aerospace Employee Review

Pros

-Huge company, so lots of potential room to move around, both in position and geographically -Ability to purchase extra vacation time, which I feel is a big plus -Location in San Diego office is in a residential area, so it's against traffic during any rush hour, which in California is a dream

Cons

Management are often completely useless. The company has dozens of managers who have no clue what they're doing, and are only there because they've managed to stay in one place for 30 years. Random 25 year olds with no experience suddenly show up and are making double what seasoned engineers are making, overtime is basically mandatory, and they regularly lay off people by the dozens. As soon as I find another job I am out of here

Pros

40 hr/wk Easy work for the pay Ability to use vacation with little notice Some leadership is willing to help you move up and increase pay quickly

Cons

Leadership does not communicate with one another Little room to move up or into another department without someone leaving Poor standards in comparison to other sites within the company Employees who do not meet efficiency standards receive no consequences and are not informed of process issues (leadership issue) Tribal knowledge seems to run the site, not standard work It is a family affair.
