Woodward Reviews

Pros

Woodward values of respect for the individual, teamwork and accountability are very important and you can see employees living those values on a consistent basis and across functions.

Cons

Internal technology tools are dated; company is lagging in this area.

Pros

Great benefits. Health insurance is great, 401k match is maxed out at 5.5%, but after two years there is a annual stock gift of 5% salary in WWD stock. Also hours are fair, typically strict to 40.

Cons

Challenging to learn culture and systems. Things are done the “Woodward way”

Pros

Good people, Good pay for new hires

Cons

New hires catch veteran workers pay easily

Pros

Coworkers are all very skilled and helpful. Products are high quality and processes are strictly held and updated regularly.

Cons

Difficult to advance unless you complete many tasks on standardized checklists. Lots of rules and standards to learn and follow. High expectations for results and output.

Pros

Most everyone treats employees with courtesy and respect across the board. The training program is excellent.

Cons

Every person in my technician department received the same annual raise regardless of performance metrics. Some of the technicians know that if they perform at the bare minimum, they have less of a likelihood to have quality issues. This lead to people working for about 2 hours per shift and lying about their time, knowing they won't be punished for laziness. They don't seem to promote from within the company very much.

Pros

fantastic benefits, awesome facility, good pay.

Cons

When they laid off 435 employees there where other operations supervisors that had less time in than me, one wasnt even there 3 months. I think it's not very fair.
