Universal Avionics Reviews

- Disorganized. Who answers to who. Backlog for a lot of the projects are a mess. A lot of documentation (especially older documentation) is in archives and have to been hunted down. - They claim to be a scum/agile company but they are doing scum/agile completely wrong. The way they do it results in a lot of Disorganization as well as A LOT of overloading. I have been overloaded to the point of sickness before. - Meeting lengths are way too long to. Stand-ups should be 10 minutes tops, not 30-45 minutes. We don't need to go through the entire backlog, just what people were working on since the last stand up. - Bad Healthcare Benefits. UMR United is over priced and bad. - Lack of appreciation/support from upper management. I am tired of hearing "You need to work harder" every company-wide meeting, especially since I regularly work overtime and pick up extra tasks and develop ideas for UA. Sometimes it feels like we are being taken advantage of, only to be told how little we actually matter and how we can all easily be replaced. I enjoy finishing my work, it gives me a sense of accomplishment; but it is burning me out. - The yearly raises aren't in line with inflation. Not great bonuses either. - While the regular employees and direct managers are open and respectful to different kinds of people, a lot of upper management aren't. - Stop saying we are a hybrid company, we are not a hybrid company. It is ok to say we are an in-person company on our career website. Nothing wrong with that.

Upper management feels disconnected from the workers. Benefits eroding that enticed talent to stay. Hybrid schedule is dwindled down to 1 day in a 9/80 schedule. Health insurance was ok when they covered almost 60$ of it for healthy habits. HR seems to be not willing to help or aid when issues with benefits is pointed out, like insurance not paying for procedures. They will gladly tell you to call the affiliated company that negotiates the bills instead of having an internal person that can help you. Upper management can at times sound like they are not trusting the technical staffers to accomplish their jobs. Predominantly seems to be a cultural barrier due to its predominantly being dished out by a particular group of individuals. Literally heard multiple times a upper manager/chief/staff professional verbally belittle or beat down an fellow coworker. Carrier progression is very slow, the expectation is that you work at a higher level job description for 1 or more years before you get the pay and level promotion.
