Pros

My previous management were people of great character and very respectful and appreciative. Technical work is always abound. Gas Turbine engines touches almost every engineering discipline.

Cons

The "bean counters" as they are called middle managers are nothing short of pothetic, the majority being technically shallow. They are "yes" people to the director and the VP as some of them are "high potential", what a joke. The job posting and selection is a very suspicious process, as some positions get filled before being advertised. There is no need to be surprised here, it is the dominant culture. The word "ethics" evidently has more than one meaning, because middle managment seem to be above the law doing what ethically is wrong. HR is also missing, and when it is around, it adds to the bureaucracy to the point you get fed up and just become passive, then try to leave at any cost.

Dysfunctional Senior Management

Pros

Secure job, most people reasonable and relatively hard working. Good benefits, and holidays, but no flexibility for unpaid leave if needed.

Cons

Senior management is extremely dysfunctional. Angry outbursts and yelling were common at the senior VP level, throwing yellow sticky notes, slamming doors. This bad behaviour trickled down to functional management and morale.

Pros

- Friendly employees all around - You can learn a lot if you are pro-active - Interesting R&D projects - One of the most prestigious names in the world, it will shine on your resume!

Cons

- HR is definitely the worst thing about this place - Energy business won't be around for long - Only few (special) people go up, doesn't matter how good you are - Lots of formality and bull* happening that you just have to do
