Textron Systems reviews about "upper management"

Incompetent upper management, constant layoffs, high pressure

Promote management based on technical skill not leadership skill Not a lot of growth opportunities No good onboarding process Upper management doesn't listen - they complain people are leaving, but don't address why people are leaving

Lower pay Unorganized management team Constant turnover Low employee moral Uncertain outlook Siloed functional and (leadership) team

The upper management is either non involved or micro managerial. The mid level management is a combination of ladder climbers who don't care about you, incompetent old timers who are in the position due to time served, and one or two really excellent leads that care.

-senior leadership team and it appears many of the upper management team including directors and VPs do not care about their employees as evident over the past several years due to policy changes -removal of work from home across the company starting April 2025 -removal of 4/10 schedule most likely followed by removal of 9/80 schedule starting April 2025 -required starting hours will be 6-8am starting April 2025 but not the hourly employees (technicians) for some reason even though their start time of 4am causes plant issues.

Absolutely abhorrent upper management. Their direction has led to what feels like constant rounds of layoffs and a revolving door of talent. - Far too many levels between individual contributors and business unit leadership. - Absolutely no money spent on retaining talent. - Out of touch work from home policy that nobody listens to - Zero horizontal integration. Land/Sea/Air are completely distinct and share nothing. There is an active effort to change this though. - Hinted at bonuses/compensation for overtime work, then hit most of those people with layoffs/moves - Oh, and no annual bonuses. Pay is pretty good but not what you’d usually consider “defense contractor pay”
