Pros

Flexible schedule, lots of time off, scholar program for paid tuition

Cons

Low salaries compared to other big companies. More focused on cutting cost rather than improving products. Project timelines are too aggressive, project management is very poor at communicating between departments, silos, need to leave a come back to have a salary market adjustment.

Otis - a company that does not value employees

Pros

US MNC. High ethics values. Structured and good processes.

Cons

With the recent strategy to separate from UTC and be independently listed, the new CEO has been busy bringing her own team on board and firing experienced employees and those who don’t sing the same tune. Elevators require technical knowledge and experience, we are not selling fast moving electronic small value products. Cost cutting and reorganization to the point of impact to quality of work done and ultimately affecting customers. And you ask the teams why they are not booking new sales? Competitors are very happy to take on good Otis employees that are laid off with no good reason other than cost cutting. Competitors are focused on customers and quality vs Otis is focused on internal politics. Those who are thinking of joining, look elsewhere for a long term employment and security. Go join the competition. They seem to know how to run an elevator company.
