Poor Management

Pros

The benefits are really good. And corporate has recently taken steps to improve benefits to become more competitive with other companies.

Cons

I have worked for UTC for a long time and I have never seen employee morale, confidence and satisfaction in such a poor state. The issues aren't necessarily with UTC, but with the local Indianapolis facility. Managers and executives are often absent and are not responsive when contacted electronically. Communication is non-existent or only makes it down the management chain so far. The attrition rate is astonishing. There also appears to be no succession plan for multiple vacant positions, including management positions.

Not a Place to Build a Technical Career

Pros

I was paid well. Benefits are very good. The on-site fitness center in Syracuse was a great benefit. Insurance costs were reasonable. The employee scholar program is second to none. My direct supervisor was a very strong leader, and a very good manager. She shielded us from a lot of the BS and politics.

Cons

The local group I worked with had good people. The company, as a whole, is thoroughly dominated by bean-counters and bureaucrats, including technical decisions. The overall culture of the company is one of finger-pointing and back-biting. Unless a person has a very strong sense of purpose, this place can drive out any sense of ambition and/or technical curiosity The company ran some very strong technical leadership out a few years ago, and this is where they lost me. It was obvious to me that this was a company that wasn't interested in building up effective teams of people. It was obvious to me the nobody had any interest in anything I had to say. I did not feel empowered to do anything on my own.
