Pros

Great benefits, focus on people development, organizational mobility.

Cons

While management would like to think that there is a strategy (SFP), it is certainly not the case at this point in time. Decision making at the top seems to be very short sighted, without accounting for the industry landscape and where the organization needs to be in 6-12 months from now to effectively tackle future business. While the industry is starting to see signs of recovery, the organization is being asked to do more with less. Which at the surface, seems fair, being that the business is going through challenging times. That said, these challenges come from bad decision making over the last few years by new leaders with no knowledge of the legacy businesses. Post Covid - there seems to be a disconnect between upper management's expectations (based on pre-covid environment) and the reality of today. Employees find themselves doing more to keep projects afloat, without the resources to properly support all aspects of their jobs. Additionally, the levels of bureaucracy established under the new UTC regimes have made decision making extremely challenging for mid-level managers.

Pros

Good 401K match and company additional contribution to retirement account

Cons

Company is not back filling positions as people leave and there is way too much work. Management expects employees to work at least 50+ hours every week. Way too many meetings, especially over the lunch hour. No respect for off hours or work life balance. This used to be a great company to work for, but since the acquisition, the only thing that seems to be important is the company's bottom line.

Pros

• Colleagues are very intelligent, helpful, and friendly • Schedule is very accommodating • Nice building • Very inclusive and open environment • No micromanaging

Cons

• Work is not fulfilling. • Little guidance, outdated procedures, and almost useless "training" courses. • Healthcare is not good (I pay less for medications if I skip the insurance). • They don't pay employees what they are worth. • Difficult to get needed hardware because of budget restrictions (this was true before the pandemic also). • They are migrating as much as possible to low-cost countries. • Upper management has put short term gains above future gains, reducing faith in the future of the company. • Cut pay by 10% and eliminated 20% of workforce as a result of the pandemic, but everyone was expected to maintain existing schedules. • Not much opportunity for growth. • Raises are minimal--except for last year, I've gotten a 2%-3% raise each year, while inflation has been about 2.1% each year, and over 5% for 2021 so far.
