Business Outlook
Pros
Textron provides a lot of varied opportunities through the businesses and locations and especially recently does a good job of identifying high potential employees and putting them in growth opportunities. In additional, the current CEO is putting a lot of focus on velocity, eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy, and engineering/product development.
Cons
Textron is in transition, so there are still a lot of pockets of Old Boys Network and barriers to getting work done. Also, the company is full of manufacturing businesses which are in locations that would definitely not be considered "sexy", like WIchita KS.
