Pros

Friendly people that are willing to help. Most leaders are understanding and flexible to fit your needs. Great environment to gain knowledge of standards and practices. Great benefits. Many areas for improvement if you can find the time and resources.

Cons

Some management leaders lack the knowledge to make effective decisions. Some technology and designs are primitive. Woodward does not move quick enough to keep up with the changing fast paced industrial demands. Major lack of structure and direction from the upper management level to the individual level. Documentation is lacking for most products especially legacy products. Overall things are not too bad but could definitely be way better for everyone.
