Rockwell Collins Employer Reviews

I worked for Rockwell Collins for 10 years and I was happy with my career growth. Rockwell offers competitive pay and advancement and rewards for productive work.

There were lots of friendly coworkers. I learned a lot about the business world and how everything works.

Management is very arrogant and usually don't welcome new ideas.One of the the engineering manager is the worst I've ever seen.

Rockwell Collins has a balanced portfolio of commericial and military products - lots of different opportunities for those interested in electronic equipment for the aviation industry.

The day started with department meetings to line up our day with the most important tasks first and to inform the department manager of any problems that may exist. I learned what it takes to work for a Worldwide Corporation and the structure needed for reporting purposes. My co-workers were made up of many nationalities and personalities which made – more... the day enjoyable. I learned a lot about different cultures and countries from around the world. The hardest part of my job was when we had hundreds of units to receive. We worked well together as a team. The most enjoyable part of my job was when I was able to work steadily without too many interruptions. – less

Rockwell Collins is a terrific technology-focused company serving both the civil and military aviation markets.

Typical day is the same everyday. I have learned to solder circuit boards and inspect circuit board. It is typical factory work

Rockwell Collins is an aviation corporation where they supply products to the airlines. I was working with production, supply chain, procurement to analyze the obsolete product to purchase as a lifetime buy. This was the hardest part of the job as I was responsible for making sure we had product to support an aircraft that was down. I really enjoyed – more... going out to Boeing and making sure they had the correct product they needed. . – less

RC is a company based in the midwest, trying to grow on the west coast.

great place to work.coworker was good working with.management was great.

Does not value your effort and under compensated. Performing Senior Engineering Work, for title and salary of entry-level electrical engineering. Performance Reviews are not fair and does not reflect what your hard work. Prevent you from advancement. In meetings, Project engineers humiliate and do not appreciate your ideas.

I've seen many employees – more... that did not carry their weight and got promotions. Some of them less qualified and less experience getting a higher level title and salary. This company is not fair. – less

Nice company to work.

Benefits are pretty nice, nice formal environment, work load can be nice stateside, overseas it can be overwhelming.

If you're in a position that is in need with the company you might have that position for some time and if not you won't be.

The Company is great and benefits are spot on.
Management is great and the co workers are helpful

Get 3 weeks vacation each year, plus standard company holidays. Long hours may be required but mostly 40 hours per week.

Overall, a good company to work for. Typical day varies widely based on what department you're in and what project you're working on. Opportunities to advance while staying on a technical career path, or switch to a management career path. Company shuts down between Christmas and New Year's, plus three weeks vacation and paid holidays.

I can only hope this position is open because RC finally decided to address the substandard leadership in the subcontracts organization.

The Tustin facility is disconnected from the Cedar Rapids home office and does not follow the policies and procedures that have allowed RC to thrive in CR.

i enjoyed working at Rockwell Collins i was fast at my work with little to no errors i liked the people i worked with

A typical day included reviewing with each project member the status of their tasks, reviewing their budget, and reviewing their schedule. My coworkers were a pleasure to work with and many have become lifelong friends. The hardest part of my job was dealing with limited budgets – government spending cuts have not helped. The most enjoyable part of – more... my job was working with friends designing a product which has been well received in the marketplace. – less

This is the only employer I've ever had that received a negative review. SELL your stock, don't apply, forget you ever heard of this company. This company is a bunch of old guys past their prime that like to talk about the good ole days while they sit on their butt collecting salaries for government contracts that have gone over budget while the contracts – more... are infinitely extended. At best unethical and borderline criminal. I had a six month contract and when I saw what was going on there I ran. They tried to convert me to full time after four months but the culture of chronic laziness scared me so I left ASAP. They pay was good while I was there though and because nobody does any work it's very easy to balance your life. My boss showed up for about 2 hours a day. Middle Management is incompetent although I can't speak for upper management although typically that kind of cancer goes all the way to the top. I suppose it is possible that what I experienced only exists at that one location albeit a huge location for RC. I've met guys who are getting to the end of their careers and are just looking to coast, if so then this is the place for you. – less

I was trusted to work on very complex systems using new skill sets.
The staff was always ready to help when needed with any support that was required to complete assignments.
