Pros

Woodward gives every member (employee) 5% of their salary in preferred stock. There is 401k matching for up to 4.5%. There is bonus potential each year. There are social and charitable activities happening all of the time. There are many locations across the U.S., and I know some members that have been able to transfer to different parts of the country and maintain their employment with Woodward. Strong workers can achieve their potential here. Good work/life balance

Cons

Weak on training, but getting better. Supporting under-resourced areas is very slow to non-existent. Not a lot of raise separation between key performers and sand baggers.

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.
