RTX reviews

Advancement depends on who you know, whether they like you (similar to most companies) and whether your current assignment happens to be on the critical path. Like most huge companies, you are viewed primarily as a unit of labor and visibility to management is limited due to a matrixed organizational structure. On some programs uncompensated overtime is mandated due to poor program bidding - be sure to inquire about this during your interview. Nationally the company provides significantly better advancement and compensation opportunities than in the Denver metro area. For those willing to move, this could be a good career option. For those seeking management, the company offers a decent career track. For those seeking a technical career, look elsewhere as you will be squandering your time here.

Policies and procedures to the extreme for everything. Staff meetings are on employees own time. Promotions are few and far between, usually require working in a program for 10+ years, or a move to another department. Layers upon layers upon layers of management - WAY too mid-management heavy - too much dead wood in mid-management levels, some have no business managing anyone, while capable engineering leaders stagnate. Although salaries are above average, benefits are poor for a $24B revenue company; no sick time (PTO) which can be stressful, employees show up sneezing and coughing in the winter so they don't lose their PTO. Deductibles, co-insurance and monthly costs are high and keep rising - whatever you do, don't get sick. Customer comes first, stockholders second, employees third. Yes, you are just a number.
