Pros
Fully paid post graduate education with no conditions after graduating. Advancement opportunities if connected with the old guard. Possibility of working at any of the UTC affiliate companies all over the US or the World. Flexibility in changing roles and functions.
Cons
Constant layoffs, and plummeting employee morale. Data managing and database tools are largely excel based with very little importance placed on a consistent and robust ERP system. Current ERP system is used more as a compliance check-the-box rather than the basis for efficient data analysis. Driven purely by UTC stock price at quarter end. If financial analysts don't like the numbers UTC must show how they will reduce costs to please them, usually by cutting jobs and overloading the remaining employee base.
