Pros

The people at AJ's pizza across the street are great.

Cons

Most of the campus has been abandoned and left to rot, the buildings are literally falling apart. Workforce that has survived layoffs (now no more than a hundred or so) has been relocated to small building in the rear of the campus. Morale is low Talent hemorrhaging, most experienced folks from Engineering to quality to finance have either quit or been laid off. No serious investment in R&D. Company has failed to gain any foothold in the market with the new products it when it does come up with them. This is not a meritocratic environment. The value of your input is determined by your seniority. Similarly you are not rewarded for your performance, you are rewarded based on how many games of golf you've played with the senior manager in the past year.

Opportunities to gain experience, nothing for training.

Pros

Textron Systems will give you many opportunities to wear different 'hats' because programs are usually not properly manned. It allows you to get great experience.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement is few and very far between. Training is nearly non-existent.

Pros

Large challenging systems to support. So many moving parts allows employees to be exposed to a wide range of products. Direct support for DoD customers boosts morale.

Cons

Almost everything has been cost cutting to the point where primary functions are suffering. There is little drive to develop new things, and rather cut costs everywhere. Normal business operations are impacted. Management seems indifferent to individual contributors.
