Huge Potential, But Misses the Mark

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This company at the Director level and below, is filled with people who work arduously to meet customer requirements and protect national security interests. The products are interesting, some of their technologies such as the OSRVT are highly innovative and exciting. A great place to learn how NOT to run a company.

Cons

This is the first company in which I have worked were the VP and above would not have ever made it at giants like General Dynamics, Boeing, Lockheed....etc. Unfortunately, they are chosen by whimsy by the toxic leadership environment in Providence. Enabled by the CEO, this toxicity is rampant in all Textron Systems companies, which is unfortunate, because there is a huge depth in what they could do... Compensation is way below industry standards. Technology to make these products is far below requirements. Sustainment is the only mantra here, NOT innovation - with the exception of OSRVT and Aerosonde.

Employees are just numbers

Business Outlook

Pros

Given a lot of responsibility and there are opportunities to move up or around the company if self motivated. A lot can be learned if driven to do teach yourself.

Cons

Not much loyalty to current employees. Focus is on whatever the current "corporate" goal is and little care is given to employees work/life balance or their work environment. Poor communication and lack of proper management usually results in productive individuals carrying excessive workloads while underperforming individuals skate by.

Lots of whiners

Business Outlook

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.
