Pros
Pratt & Whitney works on interesting aerospace technologies and provides exposure to large-scale engineering programs.
Cons
The team faced challenges due to limited technical delegation from management. Key technical decisions were concentrated with one manager who tended to retain most decisions rather than distributing them across the engineering team, which created bottlenecks and slowed development. Work-life balance is very poor, with consistently high expectations and heavy workloads that can be difficult to sustain long term. Management and leadership decisions often lack clear communication and support for engineering teams, which can create unnecessary pressure and frustration.
