Business Outlook

Pros

The Technical capability of UTC is extremely strong, excellent environment to learn corporate politics. Tremendous latitude allowed employees to make major errors.

Cons

It appears 200,000 plus employees is a little excessive and would make for unmanageable organization. Not enough monies expended on Research and Development.

Business Outlook

Pros

Development if technical and leadership skills. Professional workforce and great educational opportunities.

Cons

Depending on group and division, one can be placed on a very slow career path. It's best to pursue other opportunities with UTC after about 3-5 years.

Great company and projects. Project planning methods need upgrades.

Senior software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Leading edge products that are actually helping the USA and the world. Efficient aircraft engines reduce our use of fossil fuels and Fuel cells let us run mass transit on clean hydrogen. The company has a fairly flat management hierarchy, which means that access to management is good. The work environment is professional without being stuffy.

Cons

Union rules and inconsistency of qualities of workers assigned make it hard to manage engineering projects. Management often allows projects, especially software to begin without nailing down the end customer requirements, which results in the software team having to code to "a move target" and therefore always being late because the estimates the team gave were based on fixed requirements. Flat hierarchy means less positions to move up into, so after a few years it makes sense to move on.
