They made the kids mad....

Pros

Good experience and opportunities if you're willing to work hard and engage in learning.

Cons

The company has been pandering to the "early professional" crowd for some time. Unilateral pay raises not tied to performance, no real accountability for completing work, leaving everything to the more experienced group. They are not a fan of this mandatory overtime policy however. Many of those further in their career are very overworked and already doing overtime (thanks to Pratt for offering to pay for some of it now). However, I was walking by some younger engineers in the office recently and I overheard them talking about inviting unions in. Looking forward to watching that play out. They had plans to meet up and everything. Guess they got tired of moving their mouse for an extra two hours a day. I can't believe upper management wants more of this.

Pratt Protects Bullies

Pros

Benefits were excellent. Generous PTO, great 401k contribution.

Cons

Leadership doesn't care about the development of its people unless they've been targeted as an up and coming leader. Commercial Engines loves to promote diversity and then shoot down diverse qualified candidates in favor of buddies they've known forever. Two words: boys club. HR will 100% protect the bullies and won't actually get involved if you're being bullied by your supervisor. Turnover is very high. If you stay in one position long enough, you will end up training different managers to run your group. It's very hard to get fired from Pratt. Unless you're a victim of bullying then you'll be gone in a flash. (To be clear, I resigned, I was not "let go"). If you are a woman or a POC, expect to be treated terribly. Expect a LOT of racism and sexism. Be ready for HR to gaslight you and tell you it's just you while trying to make your case go away. Expect managers to not get involved when they witness micro aggressions. Pratt uses an anonymous survey through a 3rd party company. The survey used to go out 4 times a year but due to management complaining about the frequency, they cut it down to 3 times a year. BUT DON'T WORRY because this is "your chance to be heard!" that they just cut.

Pros

-Pay -remote work available now (only after covid)

Cons

-bad benefits -lack of training -no transfer of experience from people about to retire -blame culture -meetings scheduled outside of core working hours -company communication and nagging when on vacation and even on parental leave (rude) -company fosters a lazy mentality so the 80/20 rule applied here (20% do 80% of the work)
