A bit worse since the merger, but still a good place to work if you are in a good group - Senior Software Engineer Collins Aerospace Employee Review

Pros

Lots of opportunities to excel and so much going on make it easy to find a place to fit in and move around if you want/need to.

Cons

Lots of rules and red tape often makes it hard to do your job. Our physical office is in a pretty old building with no windows and you need safety glasses to go anywhere, even though I am a software engineer who works with a computer in a cube. Management seems to care a lot less about fairness to employees or things making sense following the merger.

Pros

Regular yearly merit raises from 3-4%. Out of cycle promotions common if you demonstrate positive performance under higher than typical workloads or time constraints. Value your experience with standard company software, technology, and processes. Great place to start within the defense industry. The emphasize passing down the knowledge of experienced engineers to the younger employees.

Cons

Training can be lacking if more seasoned employees do not have the bandwidth. Deadlines can either be hard to meet on short notice or not given a hard-set deadline at all. Learning curve can take sometimes before real contributions can be made to some projects.
