Textron Systems reviews

Management constantly changing. In seven years I have had 8 supervisors. Poor managers are just moved around. "Good old boy" and who's on the golf team runs deep. Training is nonexistent. Figure it out as you go along. Lay off and terminations are erratic. Very tense work environment. Lots of CYA and that's not my job.

Primary issue is current management and a distinct lack of new work in the pipeline. (This is specific to Textron Defense Systems). There are mass layoffs while simultaneously hiring new people in order to make the workforce more youthful. All this does is disenfranchise everyone there. Management focus's on short term financial goals by eliminating people to enhance profit but at a significant cost to future capability and employee morale. IR&D spending is too small for an organization of this size which has and will continue to stymie growth.
