Pros

There are some very smart people there. However it make me think are they really smart if they are still working there. Pros is the job pays well. Thats it thats all !!!!

Cons

So many to list. Long hours with alot of BS. The company is so cheap that everything they get it breaks. They are very unorganized about everything. Management sucks and could care less on improving quality. if you are a true engineer do NOT come here this is a grave yard for engineers. Trust me this the best advice I can give you. I gave this company almost half decade and what i get in return is a high rehab bill and a alcohol addiction.

Lots of whiners

Pros

Despite what some of the whiners are complaining about this remains a great place to work whether your are beginning your career or are experienced. Freedom to solve problems your own way, not a lot of micromanagement. Good benefits, good pay, flexible work hours. Interesting products and services. Great career opportunities! Lots of room for growth. They have a promote from within policy that really supports career growth. Some things have changed since being bought by Textron but more than 95% of those are positive changes... despite the whining.

Cons

some level of red tape to deal with but not unusal for a defense contractor. some folks here, at all levels, that are not top notch -- but again not much different than other places.

Pros

The environment at Textron Systems is not ultra competitive. This means that moving upward is not that hard if you perform well. The culture is very friendly which makes it very easy to network. The benefits are good, especially if you intend to further your education. Changing positions and locations within Textron is not difficult. The work/life balance is probably the best in the industry.

Cons

The moral seems low as far as the future of the company is concerned. Most facilities are outdated and in poor shape. Finally, there are too many layers of management which slows down reaction time and makes the company risk adverse.
