Pros

Everyone is very professional, mannered, knowledgeable, and focused on teamwork. There is very little internal politics here relative to the much larger Pratt & Whitney. As a small organization with plenty of work to be done, everyone is focused on the job and less so on personal advantage at the expense of co-workers. Probably one of the best group of people I've ever worked with during my career.

Cons

PWPS was a standalone division, but was brought "inside" into Pratt & Whitney ("Big Pratt") once they started turning a profit. Consequently, they inherited all of Pratt & Whitney's substantial policies & procedures, which dampened the "small company" feel of the division. Note that this division would have rated very high in all categories had it not been for a specific non-engineering manager whose apparent lack of interpersonal and teamwork skills unfortunately resulted in very high turnover of his direct reports.

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.
