Pros

Interesting new products that have the potential to bring the company back into the market as a viable engine manufacturer, if executed effectively.

Cons

The work force doesn't seem to be creative enough to figure out how to provide solutions in an increasingly analytical and diagnostic driven industry. The company seems to be years behind what their competitors have already brought to market and unwilling to recognize that, as majority of workforce has limited or no knowledge outside of PW. There are too many meetings that are solely used to flow down information. Furthermore, there appears to be lack of empowerment throughout middle management regarding their ability to make lasting decisions on any initiative without fear of frustrating an executive. The organization remains highly bureaucratic.

Pros

Flexible work week. As long as you reach 40 hours for the week, doesn't matter when you come/go each day. Food is pretty good.

Cons

Quick growth to P3, but growth after that stagnates/fails to be competitive in salary

Pros

Concern for Safety is a legitimate priority. The work is very process oriented and theres little uncertainty or chaos in the day to day. Theres a formalized way of doing everything. Work-life balance is good for the american standard.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old so the way things get done is over-constrained and very resistant to change. As a result work can be monotonous and Information, while abundant, is extremely difficult to reliably retreive. You will work harder not smarter.
