Pros

Good salary, time to sit back and relax. Can get leaves whenever required(subject to department you're in). Once you're fired or plan to leave - no need to give knowledge transfer. Good departments are Kautex and Textron Specialized vehicles

Cons

Bad management after Indians took over. Mostly biased towards people. Cost cutting can lead to reduction in salary and job cuts as well. Job is never stable. Can get thrown out in an instant (Even 90 days are not given - management can ask you not to come from the very next day). Not using technology optimally as required. Management level people are safe and hardly loose their jobs - it's only people at the lower levels who tend to suffer. Less onsite opportunities and most of them are short term.

Pros

The people and employees of Textron are friendly, kind and generally nice to be around. They are understanding if you have a problem and willing to help if they can. It is a very nice place to come to work. The company is very cognizant of work environment and does this well. Mistakes are tolerated and re-mediated.

Cons

- Advancement in technical rates is poor, growth is zero. The performance evaluation procedure is a complete waste of time. The human resources employees are outsourced and do not work for Textron. - Excessively process oriented, to the point where it is difficult to accomplish daily tasks. - Middle management is a class on its own, most of them never did any actual work. - Poor performers are impossible to get rid of. - Salary is not market competitive for experience. - Layoffs are handled poorly. - Two layers of management has become the norm, an 'administrative' and a technical lead. This means dual the meetings and dual the wasted time.
