Young Women Beware

Pros

Williams International offers good benefits.

Cons

I feel like I am constantly direspected, micromanaged, and excluded. I have been wrongfully accused of things I did not do, then punished for them. I dread going into work every day because I fear that I have another rude email waiting for me. It seems like my superiors are punishing me just for the fun of it, and I can't help but feel like it's partially due to the fact that I am a young woman amongst a population of mostly middle aged men.

Pros

Working for Williams International has provided broad exposure to aerospace, specifically in the context of gas turbine engine manufacturing, that many would be hard pressed to find right out of college. Work is certainly fascinating, with tons of responsibility out of the gate. Many bright people work here.

Cons

In my opinion, the negatives of company culture far outweigh the positive aspects of working for Williams. To begin, Gregg Williams has surrounded himself with "yes men" for managers, who will only tell him what he wants to hear and have no qualms throwing their staff under the bus, so as to save their own hide, when things don't work out. The saying "crap rolls downhill" couldn't more adequately describe what it's like working here. There is a high demand for output, with very little resources provided to actually do your job. Those who are able to somehow thrive in this environment often don't get recognition for their acheivements because their managers will take all of the glory. It almost seems as if mediocrity is the requisite for promotion because, if you're good at what you do, you're not going anywhere... So make sure to set the bar low. While business is certainly growing, with more opportunities on the horizon, the company is also experiencing an efflux of skilled engineers and technicians that no one seems to be talking about... Having been closely acquainted with many of the recently departed, I can attest to the fact that they have all left for reasons similar to the above and I certainly plan to follow suit.
