Westinghouse reviews

Good ole boy network. Rather top heavy in Mgmt and I often wonder how some got their positions. Very cut-throat, lots of finger pointing. Always under the worry of layoffs or redeployments. Good people can be gone the next day. People are paranoid. They preach safety first but schedule actually rules. They tend to not listen to process improvement ideas until its too late and critical. They seem to value people who put out fires rather than those that have ideas to prevent them. There is such an environment of silos, it's like "as long as I'm not to blame, I don't care what your group does". A lot of creative workarounds in some groups. They preach the work/life balance but the schedule again rules. A lot of lip service.

Old school policies - just started allowing business casual year round; we have "flex-time" which really isn't flexible, still have to be at work at specific hours every weekday Few benefits - had the ability to work 9/80s but then that was taken away; no bonuses; only sign of appreciation is being taken to a holiday lunch once a year (not even a good restaurant) Little vacation time and takes 10 years before you'll get any more Extremely difficult to get promoted or to get any major raises So much management, that it can be difficult to resolve issues. It feels like if you want to get something done, just do it and ask for authorization afterwards Budget is in control - being within budget is most important Work is not challenging whatsoever and is more about writing documents than doing actual work. I am not growing in my skills, just stagnating. My manager often does not know what I am done - during my annual review he mentioned he hadn't known what I did for the past year
