      Good but not the best

      Pros

      Global company with many business and opportunities to move around globally. Company is trying to be world class and would be there in a few years. Generally people are friendly but the process make it very frustrating to achieve much. Good products and well positioned.

      Cons

      Processes in place make it impossible to think outside the box. Achievements not allowed - just tow the line... No career development for employees. You better be happy in what you do for a long time as you would be in the same position for a long time doing the same functions.

      Human Resources is not screening to slot the right talent & skills in the right jobs.

      Pros

      Their contribution to the defense business and their reputation is excellent. There are many talented and dedicated employees. They are willing to make new hires feel welcome and will offer assistance as time permits. There are several business units, so if you get into one area and don't think it is a good fit, you can move to another area.

      Cons

      Middle management tends to worry about their own career over the good of the company or their direct reports. There is a lot of politics and less than honest feedback on procedures and announcements. Leadership is done by teams, therefore there is no ownership or responsibility for actions. If one member of the leadership team doesn't like someone for any reason, that person has no possibility for career advacement or future with the company. Many functions are not well documented. Therefore it can slow down getting projects done. Typically there is someone that had done the job before, if you can locate them you can move on securing the necessary information. Finding these legacy employees is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Some employees are given breaks and special assignments that allow them to travel the world, necessary or not. If you happen to be part of the choosen few, (qualified for the position or not) conferences and meetings to great locations happen frequently.

      One of the best companies in Indianapolis to work for.

      Pros

      If you like Aerospace related work, this is the place. Aircraft engines are an exciting profession. Pleanty of travel opportunities if you want with the right job. Generally work with professional people in the office and shop environment. Upper management seems genuinely concerned about quality of work life and is working hard to improve the working environment. We have the backing of a great parent company (Rolls-Royce-plc). Since the sale from GM / Allison 15 years ago, there has been steady and consistent forward progress and improvements. The benefits are pretty good considering what others in the same industry are offering. The 401K plan is excellent and the matching program is about as good as it can get.

      Cons

      It is a big company and unfortunately a Union shop. I believe that most shop employees want to do a good job, but they are way too protected by the Union and it tends to poison their work efficiency.
