Challenging Work Environment, Great People, but Slow Advancement - Software Engineer Textron Aviation Employee Review

Pros

Opportunity to be involved with new product development, pick up new skills on the job - prompte self learning. Work with great people.

Cons

Performance-based incentive/reward subpar. You can overachieve and innovate, but reward is no better than someone who met the minimum. If lucky you can get nominated for a cash reward. No bonuses until you reach Specialist title with at least 14 years experience, which might come with a small pay bump - lose OT pay. In a crunch, expect to work a lot of extra hours with little incentive so it's not as rewarding.

Pros

The most chill aviation job I have ever worked at. No regular near weekly audits , no micro management from supervisors. No incompetent tool crib attendant to deal with. All smaller tools like torque wrenches, safety cable guns, mega ohm meters, etc are in a vending machine style tool bin manager. QA is very knowledgeable and extremely fast when placing a call with them for an inspection, or witnessing torque or anything. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins, even when they are short handed a person. As far as the whole parts procurement dept and the parts runners go they seem pretty legit as well. Doesn't matter if I need a hyd pump, a press switch or just a bag of screws. If I don't get the part that day within a few mins to hours, its there the next day.

Cons

The only thing I can really nitpick is that the factory and the service center hangers have A/C. But not where im at ☹️
