      LDP review

      Pros

      The engineering departments are top notch, so if you're looking to take an engineering career path, P&W is a good choice. If you're looking for a marketing position, look elsewhere.

      Cons

      The LDP program is so poorly run that they can't keep an LDP manager for more than a year and LDPs are being replaced by OLPs. The LDP program used to be a significant portion of the management team, but they have cut back the program so much that they have less than 6 per year. In a nutshell, Pratt is using this program to attract top level talent who are then put into a low level, internship like role with little to no leadership training.

      Don't work for PW if you want to advance quickly.

      Pros

      Interesting hands-on work environment - it's definitely a dream job for someone who wants to see the products they are providing support for being made in real-time. The company offers great benefits and has a very strong tuition reimbursement package to utilize. The relaxed dress code for non-managerial staff is a plus.

      Cons

      Pratt is far too big to feel like you have the opportunity to advance quickly. The company is inherently bureaucratic and thus feels very far behind the times... it's far from nimble. Management is very much focused on politics - an issue that is noticed organization-wide and frowned upon by individual contributors. Overall there is very little recognition given for good work, and there is an overwhelming mood induced by feeling easily-replaceable and under-utilized.

      Pros

      Fully paid continuing education whether job related or not. Many opportunities within the company and across UTC. The pride associated with supporting our military customers. There are many very respected employees who are leaders in their field to work with. Good job security. I also think we're starting to turn the corner with our commercial business with the new technlologes we're introducing.

      Cons

      Dealing with the union and management's complete inability or unwillingness to make the union represented workforce earn their very lucrative paychecks. Annual raises for salary employees don't even keep up with cost of living increases.
