Pros

Great people to work with, good benefits. For the most part a culture where people care about each other.

Cons

Woodward has shifted into the mode of laying off in some areas while hiring in others to tweak their resource needs to current conditions. While this is great for the bottom line, it is a total disregard for the employees welfare. There are plenty of examples of companies that embrace this philosophy, but it is sad to see Woodward succumb to it.

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.
