Don't work for PW if you want to advance quickly. - Manufacturing Engineer Pratt & Whitney Employee Review

Pros

Interesting hands-on work environment - it's definitely a dream job for someone who wants to see the products they are providing support for being made in real-time. The company offers great benefits and has a very strong tuition reimbursement package to utilize. The relaxed dress code for non-managerial staff is a plus.

Cons

Pratt is far too big to feel like you have the opportunity to advance quickly. The company is inherently bureaucratic and thus feels very far behind the times... it's far from nimble. Management is very much focused on politics - an issue that is noticed organization-wide and frowned upon by individual contributors. Overall there is very little recognition given for good work, and there is an overwhelming mood induced by feeling easily-replaceable and under-utilized.

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits.

Cons

Personnel reporting to me had apparently looked up my political affiliation (which I had never mentioned) and took exception to it by sabotaging work that I had supervised. This was well before 2022 - actually 2015-2016 (2022 is earliest review date I could select). I was just now remembering it. This polarized political posture was a function of the plant being near Harrisburg, PA which, at least then, was a somewhat "redneckish" area. I have never discussed my politics at work, so it seemed absurd of them to look up my party affiliation and take issue with it.
