A stagnant company, with little opportunities, and poor leadership
Pros
-New headquarter campus -50/50 mix of very young professionals (the other 50 are very old professionals) -Fantastic cafeteria with slightly subsidized food prices -Full on campus gym facility with a professionally staffed wellness staff and daily workout classes -Spectacular work/life balance
Cons
-50/50 mix of very old professionals (the other 50 are very young professionals) -Very poor executive leadership. Westinghouse is very reluctant to hire external talent into it's upper management positions and instead plays musical chairs with the folks it does have. The result is a stagnant innovation pool. -Westinghouse has a severe lack of competition and has been doing business the same way for the past 40 years. -Upper management is comprised of engineers who lack a general business mindset. -Projects get bogged down by procedures and over management. -Exceedingly top heavy. There are 96 VPs to 4,500 employees. We're an engineering company, not a bank. -Workers, specifically in the Nuclear Fuels silo of the company are treated as cogs in a machine instead of the humans we are. -Layoffs: Take this example to heart. The company recently let go several hundred employees working within it's AP1000 division due to "changes in the nuclear landscape" and poor strategic planning. Two weeks following this "infrastructure reassessment and efficiency development process", three new VPs were appointed within the AP1000 division. -We're majority owned by a Toshiba. The Japanese corporate culture is zapping the joy out of working for this once worldwide powerhouse. -Very poor compensation.
