RTX Sr. Systems Engineer II reviews

There is a lot of inequality among departments and divisions regarding compensation based upon work quality and quantity as well as promotions. Opportunity for advancement is somewhat limited. Some of the people show up to work to collect a pay check, not to do their job well. The bureaucratic red tape can be infuriating and prevent you from doing your job effectively. Compensation is typically adjusted by 2.5-3% for a "meets requirements" while a "highly promotable" is rewarded with a 4% pay increase. Typical of large organizations in that HR decides metrics for compensation and middle-managers are forced to fit their demands. It is very easy to get lost in the shuffle or to be pigeon-holed into a role. Things move very slowly.

You don't always know how to move from project to project. Easy to get pigeon-holed. Every department has vastly different budgets for raises and promotions. Therefore, equal treatment for equal work isn't usually the case between departments.
