Sinking Ship - Software Engineer Collins Aerospace Employee Review

Pros

If you're a manager, then you will receive a retention bonus.

Cons

If you're an engineer, then you will be replaced by people from Cedar Rapids or India (without the skills/knowledge). The management and project engineers have experience, but no relevant experience (particularly in the mobile space). The GUIs are not designed by UX designers, but by management and systems engineers (primary tasks are going to meetings and writing on wiki pages). The software engineers are routinely tasked with implementing unintuitive GUIs. Rockwell Collins had below average benefits and salary, but UTC has lowered the bar.

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.
