Woodward reviews

The place is is just too lean and getting leaner. More thought over stock price than quality or employee satisfaction. Note, HR is not there for you! Zero training, be ready to be dropped on the deep side of the pool and expect to swim if you want to cut it.

Woodward is striving to be lean but has not properly invested in business systems that allow efficient processes outside the manufacturing floor. They continue to make baby steps in the right direction, but the result is one system bolted onto another. Manual processes are still pervasive. Large projects are typically assigned to "members" to complete in addition to their standard workload and without project management training. Over-collaboration slows down progress and there is rarely a true decision maker.
