Pros

Benefits are tremendous. Some of the best Health benefits I've ever had, and affordable. Stock options after 3 years.

Cons

Pay is average to below average. Woodward relies heavily on their benefits to compensate for their lower wages. Due to their size they are a company that is driven by their HR Dept. They preach work/life balance, yet push an agenda that demands the opposite. One quirky item, don't give the impression that you have or know more information than your supervisor. due to their hierarchy dynamics if those supervisors feel threatened they will find a way to get rid of you, via forced transfer or termination with the full support of HR. Witnessed this many times over my short time there.
