Pratt & Whitney reviews

Conservative (almost oppressive feel) culture Employees are afraid to speak the truth for fear of retaliation - "avoid rocking the boat" No working from home because the company doesn't believe it can be done High deductible insurance - the worst on the planet!!! Managers are known for sabotaging their own employees to seek favor from executives - often taking credit for their contributions and ideas.

The benefits are kind of a joke, although it might just be reflecting on a poor status of the health insurance industry currently. Great starting salaries, but the raises are pretty pathetic (and essentially negate themselves when they hand out 7 furlough days in a year). EVERYTHING moves slow at Pratt. Slow career progression, slow adaptability to new ideas, etc. There's layoffs every now and again, and furloughs what seems like every other year. Company is not by any means hip and limber - still a little bit of an old-white-man company (although 50% or more of the new hires and interns seem to be diversity candidates)... I'd be willing to bet the management and executive teams are 85% white men, and the ones that aren't are HR and EH&S. Some of that is just corporate america, and a lack of women in engineering in general, but still pretty poor stats.
