Impressed with the work ethic displayed from all employees -- operations, engineers and functional staff!

Business Outlook

Pros

Overwatch is a relatively small operating unit within Textron Systems. You will have the opportunity to make a difference immediately.

Cons

Only “one deep” is several roles due to size. Several roles perform multiple functions or rely on support from other Textron Systems operating units.

Business Outlook

Pros

The corporate headquarters in Austin, TX is a great location and the facility itself is very nice and conducive to collaboration and developers working long hours.

Cons

The company suffers from bloated middle management and lack of business ethic. Employees supporting federal contracts must maintain a foot out the door and prepare for inevitable layoff.

Business Outlook

Pros

Products are in demand and are likely to remain in demand. Decent mix of long term employees with people who have come from outside the company. Textron's goal to move people within the greater corporation is bringing people in from sister companies which has a positive effect overall.

Cons

Pay is below many peers in the industry. As the oversupplyof people abates, this may cause an exodus of talent. Frequent "Talent Reviews" are stated to be an attempt to be able to move people as soon as they are ready for new responsibilities but are viewed by employees as a constant look for who to lay off.
