3.My team was fantastic, and we spent time together outside of work right away. The casual atmosphere didn't prevent things from getting done, and I felt like my team members were very competent while not being over-the-top serious.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Hamilton Sundstrand as an intern for more than a year

Pros – If you're a motivated individual, then the sky seems to be the limit here. As an intern, I was exposed too all parts of the company, and was given plenty of freedom in choosing what I want to do there. There can be a lot to be learned from the many experts that work here, you just have to be assertive and put yourself out there.

Cons – Seems to be permanently understaffed; even though everyone I've worked with has been helpful, there are many times when higher ups are too busy to find you interesting work, so you're on your own a lot of the time.

Former Employee – worked at Hamilton Sundstrand full-time for more than a year

Pros – Good people, stimulating work, opportunities to advance exist for those who want to go get them.

Cons – Promotions must be sought out as they are not actively looking to promote from within but it is none-the-less a great company to work for.

Advice to Senior Management – Focus on promoting from within and doing so ahead of a defined schedule from HR for those that are high performers. I saw many of my friends complete graduate school and then move on right away due to advancement issues following graduation.
