Pros

I loved that they actively found new roles for folks as you transition from one project to another. You were marketed by your skill set not a number in the organization. The people you work will for the most part are awesome and act as a team for the most part. You get unlimited sick and vacation. Really 200 hours of vacation for Senior folks and 160 for Jr folks. Extended paternity and maternity leave. You get paid OT after 45 hours and that os inclusive of the extra 5 hours you put in.

Cons

Oh boy, the medical/dental/vision benefits cost are ridiculous and cigna covers almost nothing. The vacation you are lucky if you can get off, the work life balance is more work less life. Locations for most of their sites are in pretty run down areas. Palm Bay they have a 6 story building, but you don't want to be caught there at night. Same with their Waco facility. The Sr. Director level and above are not transparent and there is alot of lies that lose the integrity and trust on the lower levels. It used to be a family centric company. That changed with the president and ceo of UTC coming over and ruining the benefits and culture to a cut throat short term vision for stock holders.

Pros

Missions are impactful to the world Top talent in specialized fields Wonderful people Respectful environment

Cons

Processes and policies are not robust enough to support the large growth / merger, which leaves everyone operating in silos and interpreting things in their own ways Shared service model is not structured properly Not enough critical thinking around how budgets should be allocated for tools, capital, and salaries Higher level leaders are too in the weeds and not working on the harder strategic aspects Businesses are not aligned with common products to gain best synergies as all businesses fight to defend $s not what actually makes sense for the company (radios sharing same suppliers are in completely different segments; CCAs are built across 10+ different factories managed by different management teams instead of a couple of large COEs) All leaders felt unempowered due to lack of ownership of budgets. Budgets were set but then adjusted at further levels without any additional discussion of new targets and how to achieve. Then budgets would be reallocated a few months into year if you weren't demonstrating that you truly need it. This drove teams to spend heavy up front and not make the smartest decisions at times
