Hit the Numbers This Quarter; the Mission is Irrelevant
Pros
* Large company with lateral and vertical career opportunities * Decent benefits - although they've gotten worse since the acquisition by UTC
Cons
* Suffocating bureaucracy * Senior leadership at RMD is inexperienced and arrogant, and has been making very reactionary, short-term, narrow-minded decisions (such as the complete elimination of an entire department of high performing project managers) in an attempt to "hit the numbers this quarter," without regard (or even understanding) of the longer-term impacts to the business, its employees, and its customers. * Caustic culture - the Engineering department perfectly resembles Dilbert parodies * Lost focus on employees or customers (warfighters); senior leadership at RMD doesn't understand the fundamentals of leadership
