RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Woodward full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
I've been an assembler at Woodward since 2011 and moved into the new Lincoln Campus building in Fort Collins a year ago-it's really very nice!
Cons
It's quite a walk from one end to the other and the building can be noisy with continued construction and changes.
Advice to Management
Keep it up-with the cost of our dollar it's harder and harder to compete with foreign companies.

Pros
- Low Stress Environment
- Management is open to new ideas
- Very safe work place
- Very clean
- Everyone has a sense of autonomy
- Company is growing rapidly
- College education program is better than most I've seen. They will cover 100% of your tuition in advance as long as you maintain a C or higher in each class.
- Very good benefits
- Low turnover rate. High job security.Cons
- Many single points of failure throughout the facility. Many times there will be only a single person for each job.
- Management tends to jump from problem to problem without slowing down to solve them one at a time.
- Low accountability for people's actions
- Quality of operator training is poor
- No proper inventory system in maintenance
- Many machines still use outdated operating systems such as DOS, Windows NT, or XP
- Management can become overdependent on your role which can hinder advancementAdvice to Management
Try to stay focused on the major problems at hand. Encourage your employees to learn from each other so that we can avoid an environment of "tribal knowledge". Make sure that at least 2 people know how to do any single task in the company.

Pros
There are some very great people to work with at Woodward. Lots of folks you can connect to when in need of answers for a challenging problem.
Cons
Because Woodward is so focused on the products they make, getting new ideas for new products to be investigated can be challenging.
Advice to Management
A world-wide innovation group to investigate new opportunities would be fantastic. A cross-functional team to review and see how to apply new ideas could fast-track new products.
