Westinghouse – “Great place for an engineering career, or a great start for others.”
Pros
Growing industry with potential for a strong future, especially for engineers and technical staff.
Very good work/life balance programs (if your manager supports them) -- telecommuting, flexible schedules, etc.
Above average health insurance benefits.
Committment to "green" business practices, especially at new Cranberry HQ building (LEV parking, recycling, no styrofoam in the cafeteria, LEED-certified building, etc.)
Cons
Support functions have little room for career growth or movement.
IT infrastructure lagging.
Change is painfully slow.
Few women in senior leadership roles (of 15-person executive staff, only one is a woman and no women on the board of directors).
Advice to Senior Management
Career growth is important for all fields, not just engineering and technical staff.

Completely right on lack of diversity: very few non-white, non-male employees. Dig a little deeper, and you find that there is even less diversity of thought. The few employees who do have new ideas are afraid to say anything. The culture discourages diversity.
