Business Outlook
Pros
Good benefits, so good that they don't think they have to pay you. Good IT which is hard to find at many companies.
Cons
three years raises: 0%, 0%, 2%. They use a comparative salary system to other local companies, but there are no other local companies this big, Woodward employees lose. As previous have mentioined there is a middle management level of "old-timers" who take the credit for good work and blame the underlings for mistakes. Six Sigma, kaizens...Woodward is stuck in the 1980's following the old Japanese methods. Hello! Motorola, Toyota, Sony did you notice they are all in the toilet? Six Sigma is a way to turn an easy five minute business decision into forty hours of meetings with no resolution!
