Now known as RTX

Is this your company?

Big company, lots to learn, but many layers of leadership often looking out for themselves not those underneath. - Senior Stress Engineer United Technologies Employee Review

Pros

Technical experts to learn from and lots of growth potential across different programs. Education reimbursement. Flexible work schedule. Defined methods and processes.

Cons

Management doesnt get it on how to retain top talent. Lots of politics here. It's rare to work with people here who arent just trying to climb the ladder--who actually care about the product and doing the job right.

Pros

Great coworkers, mature practices, will gain a lot of knowledge depending on your department. Opportunity to be domestically mobile within the company if you want live in subpar cities throughout the US. Great opportunity if you enjoy being paid in experience instead of money.

Cons

Very common for loyal long term employees to be pigeon-holed. Numerous long term employees retain basic analyst titles. Negotiate your salary before joining the company, not after. Only way to get higher pay or title is by being very mobile in your career either within the facility or among other UTC locations. Loyalty and hard work will not get you a promotion. High favoritism for merit increases and promotions, management doesn't reward hard work. There are bi annual employee reviews where management pulls up each employees profile. A negative perception any one manager in the meeting will end that employees future prospects, I've seen it many times. Make sure to manage how others perceive you. If you're not on management's gold star list don't plan on going very far. They'll be happy to keep you in a role as a work horse and lie to your face to keep you happy. It's all about who you know and how others perceive you rather than what you've accomplished. Very high attrition rates. Expect to work long hours with little gratitude depending on your team.
