Pros

Pay and benefits are average for the industry, which makes them lower than for Medical or high technology jobs. If you can't get any other job, UTAS might be better than unemployment.

Cons

About half the jobs at Burnsville are in the process of being shipped to India, so if there is a job opening it is probably because someone got fed up and quit. For the last few years layoffs were few because so many people quit, but now rolling layoffs are back. Exempt employees are expected to work an extra 5-10 hours per week if they want to keep their job. Understaffing and mismanagement causes frequent crises that require working nights and weekends. If you want to work at a growing sector of UTAS, move to Bangalore. Indian UTAS engineers make as much as the equivalent of $8000 per year!

Pros

It's a huge company. You can be a total loser and survive under the radar. That's good for someone. No, seriously there are some good things. New people hungry for leadership and direction respond well. You can rally the troops, just not the generals who demand things in sound bites. They do have a structured reporting system for metrics but they live and die by it.

Cons

Benefits here are really, really bad. The top plans cap at low numbers. If you have teeth issues forget it. Their best plan might as well be a $1500 allowance in your salary. It's the worst that I've ever seen. They do furloughs and pay reductions every time there is a headwind on the growth. They think they can grow into a super conglomerate from a sci-gi flick, but all of the IT is out-sourced. LOL. The company is the most bureaucratic nightmare you can imagine. A lot of the work is manual. External experience is scoffed at. They will push you until you die an expensive death. There is little training on how use or succeed with their unique management systems. Executives lose their minds if you do anything other than exactly what they expect. Presentation standards are so high you'd think they were filing a reality TV show here. You'll spend more time in Powerpoint getting color patterns critiqued you won't believe it. I could go on but if you still make this mistake then that's on you.
