Extremely poor work life balance

Mechanical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and opportunities to build technical skills.

Cons

Constant interruption of personal time, especially post COVID and working from home. Expectation for engineering to consistently work evenings and weekends. Missed numerous family events, milestones, funerals and vacations due to Pratt. Same expectations not consistent across other organizations so you might get lucky.

Pros

If you plan on staying in Connecticut for life, it’s a great company for work life balance and okay pay.

Cons

Generally no bonuses. They changed the employee scholar program benefits effecting hundreds of employees without grandfathering in individuals. Really poor communication about the change as well

Total disappointment

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary was good. Benefits were good

Cons

If You do not meet their expectations they will terminate you with no severance and right before christmas. They don't even offer you to transfer to another department. Their expectations is to follow a micro manager's intructions who will fail you if he does not like you. My dream company became my worst nightmare. Work 12hr days and not even a thank you. So be careful before you accept an offer.
