Westinghouse reviews

The human resources department at Westinghouse particularly in Columbia and Cranberry is one of the most disgraceful examples of Human Resources. They are cliquey and gossipy and don't look at facts and consider the people they are supposed to be supporting what so ever. I have been multiple example as a manager and as an employee where they did unethical things and basically drove the organization to self serve. When the HR department gossips outside of their work place as well they lost all my respect.

Management is clueless on modern engineering practices. This cannot be more evident in their failed AP1000 project. Instead of using modern computer programing, they used software better suited for the Antique Roadshow. Case in point: All flow modeling for the nuclear safety systems was done using error filled excel files, rather than modern fluid modeling programs. They also used archaic project planning software for a nuke plant build, which the owner of the failed VC Summer project listed as one of the causes of the project's failure. Management is also seems to be sketchy in their practices as the customers at the VC Summer project claimed that Westinghouse Senior Management hid progress on the project and would only feed them tidbits of project data, only to change them later. And now there is talk that the pension plan, that a lot of retired workers rely is in real danger of collapsing. On top of that, management will ask you to work 50 hrs and only pay you 40 (see many of the other reviews on here about that). So if this is the management that you want to work for, then yes, Westinghouse is the place for you! This is a bankrupt company in a dying industry. Because WEC management fumbled things up so badly, there probably won't be another nuke plant built in the Americas for another 30 years.
