Pros

It's a great company for those in the Mechanical and Aero Engineering field who like to be challenged with highly technical problems. They offer great educational benefits although they were better a few years ago. Other benefits are about average compared with other companies which is a bit disappointing since they had above average benefits when I started. Sick time is above average with 5 days + 5*(number of years) days per year. While vacation time is below average. Start off with 2 weeks, get 3 at 8 years, and 4 at 18, etc. The company also treats everyone about the same regardless of race and gender.

Cons

Not a great company for those in the IT field. Management is mostly made of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers who don't see the value that the IT field has to offer. As a result productivity of its Engineers are lower than it should be as many of it's Engineering processes are very manual intensive.

LDP review

Pros

The engineering departments are top notch, so if you're looking to take an engineering career path, P&W is a good choice. If you're looking for a marketing position, look elsewhere.

Cons

The LDP program is so poorly run that they can't keep an LDP manager for more than a year and LDPs are being replaced by OLPs. The LDP program used to be a significant portion of the management team, but they have cut back the program so much that they have less than 6 per year. In a nutshell, Pratt is using this program to attract top level talent who are then put into a low level, internship like role with little to no leadership training.

Pros

Great education program. Can get one degree at the bachelors, masters and PhD level for pretty much free. Some really great people in the engineering department to work with.

Cons

Does not give great compensation to its employees. Sometimes it seems like the engineers have been doing the same job their entire careers
