Pros
I worked with the best people. My local management team were fantastic people, I miss them.
Cons
The cons are many, where to start? - risk averse to the point where it threatens the company's future - monotonous; actual career growth opportunities were few and far between for technical leaders - dense HR; they couldn't adjust to a high inflation environment at a time unemployment in the engineering workforce was at an all time low. The data was there but you didn't listen to it. -digital technology assets were poorly configured, poorly maintained, and too infrequently updated. I spent the last year of my time at Collins fighting with a computer that didn't work properly and a DT organization that didn't care. - promotion timelines were never clear; all of the vagueness and ambiguity convinced me that I was giving Collins my most productive years with nothing in it for me. If you want to be a great engineer, if you want to have an exciting career, this isn't the place.
