Pros

There are several international opportunities for employees. Some smart people with large technical knowledge who has been working in the company for long time. Different departments work quite well together and there is an important team spirit.

Cons

The fuel tanks industry is going down and the company is late and not very well positioned for other products where competitors are much stronger. Management hired in big batches and later had to fire most of the new hires. Everything takes long time to change and management change their minds quickly, therefore you might end up with many different unfinished projects. The feeling is that TEXTRON does not want to invest in this business and just try to get as much of it before it is sold or closed at some point.

Easy advancement due to high turnover, gain lots of experience, good location being so close to Corktown

Cons

Unorganized, expects overwork as the norm, doesn't fix existing problems and expects employees to tediously fire fight and clean up as the solution, every task is urgent, low level of collaboration between departments
