Terrible place to work
Sr. Admin Assistant (Former Employee), Tustin, CA –
A terrible place to work. People are dishonest with their time and use of company ethics. Managers yell and scream at their people and pound their fists on the table.

Family-oriented and highly competent co-workers
Systems Engineer (Current Employee), Wilsonville, OR –
Pros: excellent co-workers, family-oriented
Cons: not much room for advancement
Very competent Engineers (software, systems, mechanical, and optical) who were very easy to work with aside from small office politics. Highly communicative and accommodating operations and repair department. High and mid-level engineering management could do a better job improving communication chain, but do a sufficient job in aiding with career development.

The – more...  hardest part of the job was accommodating schedules with varying levels of micro-managing.

The most enjoyable part of the job was a continued desire for learning among peers and tool development advances. – less

Great company with great employees
Engineer Project Assistant (Former Employee), Richardson, TX –
Pros: free lunch and sporting events
Cons: nothing
The only reason that I'm not working for this company today is because the economy. I was layed off due to a reduction in workforce. I would've wanted to retire there and hoping in the next couple of months my position opens up there again.

Fun and challenging atmosphere
3D Simulation Engineer (Former Employee), Salt Lake City, UT –
Pros: creative atmosphere, you could set your hours.
Cons: contracts lost funding.
The simulation department provided a creative and challenging atmosphere. Every one there loved the 3D technology, and we were always trying to figure out how we could improve it. The pay was great, and the company offered bonuses for a job well done.

A typical week, we were assigned tasks and required to provide milestones. One of the most challenging – more...  tasks was to model a battle ship with very little reference material from the client. Fortunately, after extensive research, I was able to complete the project on time with praise from my supervisor. In face, he had me clean up some of our older library assets. – less

Corporate Disconnect
Manager (Former Employee), Irvine, CA –
Pros: good compensation package
Cons: no leadership, major disconnect with local operations
Rockwell Collins has turned into a Committee Run Operation, using the Shared Services approach. Managers from Cedar Rapids take over local operations for a year, scramble the environment and return to Cedar Rapids. The new manager changes what the previous manager did, making it convenient that everyone blames the other and no one take the responsibility – more...  for the decline in business. Sad. – less

Nice enough people, not so great workplace
Assembly (Former Employee), Melbourne, FL –
Pros: nice coworkers/managers, plenty of days off
Hard to get new tools when you needed them, had a lot of people working with nothing to do and even tried every week to get people to work on their days off (with still no work to be done).

Good place to work, slow on advancements.
Computer Operator (Former Employee), Melbourne, FL –
Pros: nice atmosphere, friendly, up-to-date technology.
Cons: no benefits for temp employees (normal i suspect).
I was a temp employee working for Remedy Staffing at Rockwell Collins. I ran the 2nd shift computer operations. I ran reports, input data, monitored system to include the network, input payroll and had the shift all to myself. Nice job and nice place to work and people there were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place as one of the – more...  top places to work in Brevard County. Unfortunately, they did not make me a full time employee for whatever reason, too bad , too sad :( – less

Very stable company
Entry level manager (Current Employee), Cedar Rapids, Iowa –
Pros: flexibility, paid time off, tuition re-imbursement
Cons: political atmosphere, hr not invovled with business units
Rockwell Collins has very good benefits. The culture in the work teams is very good. Having the time off during the holidays is awesome. There are some really good leaders in lower to mid level manager positions. However there is one common theme that hold the company back. They have a very political culture that is controlled by a good ole boy network. – more...  New higher level leadership is needed to retain top talent. There are some changes in process but the needed change is slow and painful for employees. – less
