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.

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.
