Pros

The Employee Scholar Program is awesome. They pay for everything and you can take classes in anything you want, not just courses related to your current position. Working for UTC provides you with the opportunity to see different business because they own 8 different subsidiaries, but still work for the same company. All the companies are market leaders and provide challenging work.

Cons

All the busineses are within the manufacturing industry so if you are looking for something other than that, this is not the place. There is really no interaction with consumers or the public. Only business to business/government. UTC also has an aging workforce that have been with the company for many years. This is a good thing which shows loyalty to the company but they are so they are stuck in their ways. It's hard for young workers to adjust and accept that their coworkers and supervisors just are not ready for change.

Advice to Senior Management

I believe UTC should make a conscious effort to bring in and retain young, new blood into the company.
