Woodward reviews

-Management is constantly changing -Annual layoffs -overworking employees

I agree with past reviews, in that the work experience here depends greatly upon your specific job and leader. There are many leaders and individual contributors here that through their own behavior create a toxic and disrespectful atmosphere that in turn creates a lack of trust. Others are obviously incompetent, and some grossly disrespect the boundaries of their job. The most frustrating part is that these situations appear to go on indefinitely, for years at a time while the bad actors don't appear to suffer any sort of consequence. One other major con of the Niles site is very scarce opportunity for career advancement, and as others have said very meager salary increases. In the time I've been with the company I've seen almost nobody get visibly promoted. The Niles site doesn't appear to be targeted for growth, as the site has seen multiple recent layoffs despite typical to good financial performance. Seniority appears to dominate as most of the top positions at the location appear to be firmly locked down by the longest tenured employees.
