Pros

Mostly good coworkers in engineering department. Mostly good direct managers in engineering. Pretty good benefits. Decent pay. Job stability. Location is decent.

Cons

This company used to be a great place to work. Since the acquisition by UTC, and especially since the merger with Raytheon, this company is getting hard to work for. The mothership company regularly pushes changes that make it harder to get the "real" work done, or cause long-timers to quit: Removing incentive pay (bonuses) for all but the most senior folks, "Return To Office", xClass (export classification), reducing Teams chat retention to 60 days for legal CYA, recent password management nightmares, monitoring software on company PCs, to name a few. Additionally, the route to Senior Principal Engineer at this site feels blocked off in a way it wasn't for previous generations.

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.
