Pros

- Great retirement plan. - Great healthcare plan with a low cost to employees. - Great pay for the work you're asked to do. - Cafe makes great omelets on Wed. and Fri. - Employees are generally friendly.

Cons

- Older employee company; mostly 45 and older. - They worship the time clock. There's a clock on every wall and in the patio areas...yeah that surprised me too. - The scope of work is very narrow. They expect you to do only one or two things and don't like you to branch out to other tasks. - The leaders tend to defer to the opinions of employees who have been there the longest and don't trust newer employee opinions. - Leadership tends to choose department heads based on longevity over skill competency.

Pros

You will defiantly like Woodward culture and relax which you will not get in any another company and that's for sure.

Cons

You will feel as time will pass with Woodward India that you are still at same place when you joined the company.Many times will not get appreciation if you have done extraordinary performance also.If you are a hard worker then you start to think for a change after 3-4 years with Woodward India
