Loved being on the cutting edge with contributions to the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Main Engine. Miss those days. Feel a sense of accomplishment when able to view the Space Station in the sky and watch a launch of the Space Shutltle main engine. Worked on these programs for over 15 years. Exciting.

Employees have good relationships
Bond Room Technician (Former Employee), MD –
Pros: very clean working conditions.
Cons: none worth mentioning
Company has very good working conditions, but some management has unrealistic outlook on lower level employee working relationships. Some management doesn't listen to lower level employee psychological views of their involvement.

Review for Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne: Innovative Work, but Slow and Beuracratic
Non-Metallic Materials Engineer (Current Employee), Canoga Park –
Pros: brilliant people; interesting products
Cons: bureaucratic
Working at PWR has been a joy, however, the work is slow moving, the environment right now (2012) is extremely uncertain because of the status of the government contracts. I doubt that you can find a smarter group of people in one place, but the brilliant people are weighed down by a risk adverse, bureaucratic company. It is really a shame, I think – more...  once PWR gets some more work things will improve significantly. – less

If You're Looking for Stability, Look Elsewhere
DBA (Former Employee), Canoga Park, CA –
Pros: great environment and people
Cons: no stability
PWR is a great company to work for unfortunately, there is no longer a lot of work there and opportunities appear limited. With the SSME program, PWR's "bread and butter", ending in 2011 many people have been laid off.
