Woodward reviews

As a result of this diversity and large profit margin, middle management and above are mostly interested in advancing themselves. They have little interest of leading and promoting on merit. If you show up to work at 7 AM, and everyone sees you, then you will have a long career no matter what you actually accomplish. No incentive for performance or innovation. Woodward management at all levels are concerned about their personal bonus and Wall Street performance rather than appropriate staffing and employee rewards. Conservative and old fashioned - but they can do this because they make large profits. And because the products and services are so profitable, it doesn't take a skilled manager to make performance metrics. They just need to get into the good old boys club.

If you want to be micro-managed, treated like you don't have a brain in your head, belittled and tossed aside like a bad penny, then this is the company for you.
