Pratt & Whitney Reviews

Pros

- Great work environment - Flexible hours - Good benefits - Room for career growth

Cons

- Unpredictable job nature (daily tasks vary based on what is required) - Pay could be more competitive

Pros

The people are great I work in a great team. Job stability and work life balance are pretty good. Compensation has been steadely improving in the last couple of years. Good benefits

Cons

Although the company works on cutting-edge technologies, I feel that there is a lack of innovation and creativity in the day-to-day work. The work environment is too conservative and risk-averse. Hybrid is the standard now but some elements in management are clearly pushing for more presence in the office. This is unfortunate considering a lot of jobs can be performed perfectly well on a mostly remote basis. This would help out tremendously since decent housing without a killer commute in very hard to come by here in PR.

Pros

Good experience and opportunities if you're willing to work hard and engage in learning.

Cons

The company has been pandering to the "early professional" crowd for some time. Unilateral pay raises not tied to performance, no real accountability for completing work, leaving everything to the more experienced group. They are not a fan of this mandatory overtime policy however. Many of those further in their career are very overworked and already doing overtime (thanks to Pratt for offering to pay for some of it now). However, I was walking by some younger engineers in the office recently and I overheard them talking about inviting unions in. Looking forward to watching that play out. They had plans to meet up and everything. Guess they got tired of moving their mouse for an extra two hours a day. I can't believe upper management wants more of this.

Pros

Work/benefits can always be better, but not bad though. if you focus on yourself and enjoy what you do, you should have no problem working here.

Cons

Management is always going through change. Union here is just an agency it’s not strong as it used to be from what I herd! Lazy workers can get ahead while you work hard and may not get the same benefit but eventually you will, due to the union and its layout rules it makes it hard to expand and do more. They should definitely do mandatory drug test-randomly, (they don’t)especially for those in production that build the engines. Apparently it’s not part of the FAA drug pool…

Pros

Pay Environment Career growth On the job training

Cons

I wouldn't say there are any downsides for the time I was at P&W I truly enjoyed my work.

Pros

Majority of people are willing to help.

Cons

Retention policy for employees makes zero sense. For some reason upper management and HR will not budge on increasing salaries to keep up with inflation but cry a river about employees leaving. Engineers are not simple to replace even if you get lucky and get an experienced hire it still takes months to a year for them to be effective.

Pros

Stable income. Good job security. Decent culture. Interesting work.

Cons

Mediocre pay and could have funnier socializing activities.

Pros

Interesting work, ability to make impact, opportunities for advancement, good compensation

Cons

Work-Life balance can be tough, expectation to be available off-hours, retirement savings programs are nothing special

Pros

The company makes a cool product

Cons

The company has recently mandated unpaid overtime for an indeterminate amount of time for salaried engineers, with no actual reason provided as to why. Pay has not come even close to keeping pace with inflation. Management is unable to even acknowledge real concerns of bureaucracy, terrible digital infrastructure. The only focus is attracting new talent, there is no attempt made to reward existing employees. The company makes a song and dance of asking employees for input, but makes no attempt to correct any issues. Infrastructure is embarrassing, onsite buildings are falling apart.

Pros

Great place to start a career you learn a lot and it's not too hard to do any of the jobs there, especially on the business side. It's pretty clear when you should look for a new role - if you aren't promoted at least every 2 years then they aren't considering you in their leadership development process.

Cons

They aren't transparent about what you need to do to increase your pay and by what level you can expect for your work. There is a weird mix of folks who do effectively nothing and are paid well +120K-+160K vs folks who do a lot and are paid not as well relatively +70-100K.
