RTX reviews

Saw an email today from Corp discussing the need to consider streamlining the corporate policy documents, or at least some of the 19,000 policy documents that apply to apparently everyone. Not a joke, that's the actual number of policies apparently. Ranks right up there with the dozens of hours of training I'm required to take each year on ESD, adjusting your chair to the right height, not violating the foreign corrupt practices act, ethics. One of these days maybe I'll actually get to take a class or something that could advance my career. But I doubt it.

For a person who has worked across multiple business units, I would say your experience can differ tremendously from one business unit to another. SAS has the feel of a company that cares, while IDS is all business. Sure, there is more interesting work in IDS, but IDS tends to use you for the job and drop you off once the program money dries up. The younger employees are undervalued. In some parts of the company, mgmt follows a "years of service" mentality, meaning that they will put a person in a position, not because the individual is best suited for the role, but because that individual has been at the company for a long time. This is followed by the absence of a proper mentoring program. If you are an individual who is eager to build your leadership skills to compliment your technical abilities, you will be frustrated.
