Pros

Great medical, sick, educational benefits, you also can buy a extra week vacation. Your contribution for medical insurance PPO type is very little compared to some the companies I worked before. They will pay your education if it meet the company needs. The ability to buy a extra week vacation is great, if you do not use it you get it reimbursed at end of year

Cons

I ca not speak for the entire company, since the unit I work for was acquired recently. Any acquisition is hard to integrate a old culture into a new culture. Before being Woodward this unit was a private company called MPC in Skokie Illinois. You can see that Woodward is trying to improve the current management mentality, however the resistance is enormous. Per example, the many suggestions I gave none were implemented. Like a 10 hours a day 4 days work week, flex working hours, and etc. I sense a great fear among the incompetent that were able to move up via nepotism or favoritism.

Pros

Great with previous leadership. But then...

Cons

New leadership is not as dedicated to employees as previous (although bonuses have been better). New middle management there is a lot of nepotism. Once a stable company, layoffs have been a common occurrence since COVID.
