My Division was purchased by Pratt (UTC) about 5 years ago, and things have slowly gone downhill ever since.

Financial analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting and highly advanced products make even mundane tasks like financial analysis somewhat interesting. Pay and benefits are I think on par with the industry, at least as far as I can see.

Cons

We don't seem very competitive any more, and management seems to do very little to correct the problem. We react to things that have already happened, rather than anticipating. Very, very mediocre first level management is tolerated and never dealt with. "ACE" is promoted way beyond its value to the company. We have days when $200K directors spend the whole day inspecting workers cubes. Very wasteful, and this is not just my opinion, many workers, managers, and executives share this, although to verbalize it is a career killer.

So So Company to work for.

Pros

We make some very interesting and cool products. Being a major corporation, I suspect the pay and benefits are comparable to other similar companies, although I know for new hires there is no longer a pension available.

Cons

There is a corporate wide initiative called "ACE" - Achieving Competitive Excellence, which drives everything we do, to ridiculous levels. It is drummed into our heads from the CEO down. There is never a communication from the senior management that does not mention ACE in the body somewhere. It really reminds me of Orwell’s “1984”. Most of us feel the cost of this program far exceeds any benefit to the company. Our suspicions are further raised by the fact that the company does not track any costs related to ACE. All ACE related activity is charged to general overhead. Be forewarned, if you come to Pratt, you will be “ACE’d”.

Pros

They have a great mentoring program that allows you to get your hands right on a project and be guided by an experienced engineer.

Cons

There were no cons that I can think of except that you have to go through the usual HR meetings and other types of things that are not as interesting.
