Former Employee – worked at United Technologies full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Great exposure to various assignments, including international and/or managing a team; interesting and knowledgeable work colleagues and opportunities to progress rapidly at Carrier Corporation.

Cons – Smaller business units have less room to progress fast and sometimes didn't fully integrate the UTC culture. Those smaller business units were part of some acquisitions UTC made. The caliber of the employees are not the same as in bigger business units.

Current Employee – been working at United Technologies full-time

Pros – Like the manager. I wish they had a plan and would convey it to everyone. I also wish they would train their people. I feel the training is weak.

Cons – It's a poorly run company. not very efficient. They are sitting on a gold mine if they can figure out their problems.

Advice to Senior Management – Figure out the supply chain issues. this has a snowball effect on everyone.

Current Employee – been working at United Technologies full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The tuition policy is phenominal.

Cons – Pay is weak, bonuses weaker. Business units have to deal with 5 levels of manangement and a host of analysts who are just trying to justify their jobs with busy work. Constant change, borderline unreasonable expectations and deadlines.

Advice to Senior Management – Streamline reporting so all management uses the same reports in the same format. Follow ACE like the rest of us. Practice, don;t just preach.

Former Employee – worked at United Technologies as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Good company to work for, benefits are good but the culture is very individualistic

Cons – Lots of corporate bureaucracy and red tape stuff. Things tend to get quite boring sometimes as people do not communicate very often. The environment is ... quiet. People do their own things and you're fine as long as you get your projects done.

Pros – Great businesses to be in. Good people in the business who care about it with lots of expertise.

Former Employee – worked at United Technologies full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Big, lots of smart people to learn from

Cons – If you are not a politician, you will be taken advantage of in your later years.

Advice to Senior Management – You are a captive of who you decide to listen to. If you make the wrong choices and you will never know what is really going on. Make sure you listen to all, not just the loudest or most pushy, or you will end up getting booted out because you made the wrong decisions. (Mr Ed syndrome)
