Business Outlook

Pros

Great education program. Can get one degree at the bachelors, masters and PhD level for pretty much free. Some really great people in the engineering department to work with.

Cons

Does not give great compensation to its employees. Sometimes it seems like the engineers have been doing the same job their entire careers

PW Power Systems embodies "small company" appeal while being part of a large corporation.

Staff engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone is very professional, mannered, knowledgeable, and focused on teamwork. There is very little internal politics here relative to the much larger Pratt & Whitney. As a small organization with plenty of work to be done, everyone is focused on the job and less so on personal advantage at the expense of co-workers. Probably one of the best group of people I've ever worked with during my career.

Cons

PWPS was a standalone division, but was brought "inside" into Pratt & Whitney ("Big Pratt") once they started turning a profit. Consequently, they inherited all of Pratt & Whitney's substantial policies & procedures, which dampened the "small company" feel of the division. Note that this division would have rated very high in all categories had it not been for a specific non-engineering manager whose apparent lack of interpersonal and teamwork skills unfortunately resulted in very high turnover of his direct reports.
