Textron Systems reviews

Clicky, tight knit circles don't promote much growth unless you're "in". Upper management is highly bureaucratic and has "old-school" mentality (pay your dues, serve your time instead of caring about skillsets or experience outside of company). Everyone talks about "the old AAI" but I wasn't around to experience it. Best thing that could happen to AAI would be to reach a deal with some of its higher earning and bigger competitors like NG, LM, or Boeing. That might dust off the shelves and allow for a more modern business culture to prevail - and help establish clear forward direction and efficient and valuable processes.

I'd complain about the horrible HDHP medical plan, long hours (death marches), lack of remote work (classified labs makes that hard) and so on but the real problem is this company is simply dead. Innovation is dead, new business prospects have died up and there has been a drain in talent ( by choice and by not ) for the last several years. This company isn't going anywhere.
