Collins Aerospace reviews

Poor leadership at senior levels, poor merits and no bonuses so salary stagnates for every year of service you stay there, employee retention is not a value at this company, keeping lifers underpaid and dealing with turnover is part of their financial strategy, very strict cost control on travel/indirect spending/CapEx/IR&D

The cons are many, where to start? - risk averse to the point where it threatens the company's future - monotonous; actual career growth opportunities were few and far between for technical leaders - dense HR; they couldn't adjust to a high inflation environment at a time unemployment in the engineering workforce was at an all time low. The data was there but you didn't listen to it. -digital technology assets were poorly configured, poorly maintained, and too infrequently updated. I spent the last year of my time at Collins fighting with a computer that didn't work properly and a DT organization that didn't care. - promotion timelines were never clear; all of the vagueness and ambiguity convinced me that I was giving Collins my most productive years with nothing in it for me. If you want to be a great engineer, if you want to have an exciting career, this isn't the place.
