Pros

Office is pretty and is in the heart of UTC. Can say you work for “the #1 company”

Cons

They claim they care about their employees but clearly don’t. Have a personal life issue? Doesn’t matter be in the office. They claim they’re all inclusive of all people but people here are racist, call other people in the office nerds, and just feels like high school. Won’t pay me enough but my boss will send me his receipts to expense to the company such as: renting a Roles Royce to pick them up from the golf course, over $1,000 on just a bottle of wine at a closing dinner, ski trips, etc. They won’t even pay me enough to pay my inflated bills. As my coworker said, “we’re here to make the white men richer” don’t work here.

Pros

Excellent co-workers. Easy to find work elsewhere.

Cons

Senior management are wearing the emperor's clothes! They have no idea or thought for the "boots on the ground". Poor "merit increases", do not even meet cost of living increases. Senior leadership has obscene bonus structure. Middle management bonuses are based on cutting costs to include reduced staffing levels and bullying others to take pay cuts. Unrealistic expectations for expansion and organic growth as much as 50% YOY are purposely imposed to provide "rationale" for minimal bonuses for middle and lower management. Employee "engagement" survey questions are structured to prevent employees from actually expressing their dissatisfaction and the published "results" are questionable. Salaried employees are worked beyond reasonable expectation and are bullied into reducing overtime by performing works that should be assigned to waged staff. Reports are numerous, overwhelming, redundant, duplicated and are mostly only for show. Low morale prevalent throughout company and there has been an increasing exodus of experienced middle to lower management in the past year.

Pros

I can't think of a single pro.

Cons

Employees are not valued, mistreated, and verbally abused by senior staff. Management does nothing to promote a positive work environment. Extremely hostile, sexist, racist people are employed here. They seriously underpay.
