      Decent Pay, but everyone's stressed

      Summer intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good pay, some good people work there and its a big company so the benefits aren't bad. They try to communicate goals.

      Cons

      poor communication between divisions, not much cooperation, engineers don't work closely with business functions causing confusion in the rank and file

      Where is upper management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are OK.not enough to make up for low pay scale

      Cons

      Upper management stays in their "space" and tells the workers to get by with less "for the good of the company" Two years(so far) with no raises, no bonuses and upper management bragging about better than expected profits, great stock performance, how well they did on the golf course yesterday... while workers discuss their upcoming foreclosure, their calls from bill collectors, their kids having to put off college for a year.

      Woodward

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are many technically competent people at Woodward, with good experience and job knowledge. The project managers work together to share information and improve the product development processes. There are good benefits. The products help make engines more efficient, saving energy and reducing emissions. The company has strong values.

      Cons

      Some of the senior leaders use threats and intimidation as "motivational" techniques. HR does not support the employees. Your experience depends on where you are in the organization and whom you work for. Like most organizations, there is not always a clear agreement on the most important priorities -- frequently overcommit or try to do too much at the same time.
