Company culture has changed quite a bit, not necessarily for the better.

Pros

The Textron I worked at was a "little big company". By that I mean we were fairly small group in a much larger corporation. This was great because I was able to work on a variety of projects to keep me busy and interested.

Cons

Corporate America is squashing the life out of creativity and innovation and Textron is not immune to this. I offered up many ideas and project proposals, but was told explicitly: "If there is not already an order or potential order in place, the project will not be funded". This type of thinking is exactly why companies are going out of business these days. You need to invest in the future. To become a leader you must innovate, not just build to specifications set forth by others.
