Pros

High tech employer with a great many opportunities for smart hard working dedicated people.

Cons

They have high expectations of employees and the pressure to perform can be intense. Much of their work is on leading edge projects and require advanced or specialized degrees.

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

Flexible, direct contact to OPs management

Cons

Very low pay, bad management, pay raise are anywhere from .15 cent to .50 a year unless you level up which they have strict rules to that. The years that you've been at the company doesn't matter you could possible top out pay after 18 years of. They don't follow core value
