Productive and enjoyable work place.
Tester/Assembler (Current Employee), Burnsville, MN – April 16, 2013
Pros: flexible hours, tuition reimbursement
Cons: company motivation
Typical day at work consists of loading and unloading automatic test ovens. Bench testing products to meet customer and engineering requirements. Working closely with other employees to ensure products are assembled and working properly.

At UTC I have learned how to read schematics, blueprints, how different components in CCA's work in different products.

Co-workers – more... are pleasant to be around, humorous attitude making it easier to come into work everyday. Everyone is understandable and courteous to each and every situation that may come to pass. Which is one of the most enjoyable parts of the job, working with a group of diverse people.

Hardest part of the job to me would be trying to keep up with production late starts failures due to auto test systems and/or late arrivals for parts which delays the completion of products that are planned to be done. – less

Productive workplace
Software Engineer (Current Employee), Windsor Locks, CT – April 15, 2013
UTAS is a good company to work for. The employees are friendly and the benefits are good. The work environment isn't too strict. It's a lot of work in the Engine and Controls group with long nights and weekends sometimes but the responsibility you are given within the first year is incredible.

Stable employer....for now
Assembler I/Instrument Builder (Current Employee), Burnsville, MN – April 1, 2013
Pros: interesting work
Cons: no career growth
A stable place to work before the merger with Goodrich. Too soon to tell if this will still be the case with UTC.

I could obtain a PHD and still would be passed over for promotion.

The work is interesting.

Management uses "business need" as an excuse not to promote or allow you to move to another position.

Horrible Situation Even Worse Since Acquisiton
Salaried Professional (Current Employee), Chula Vista, CA – March 30, 2013
Pros: good medical benefits, co. pays for educaiton no matter what your major
Cons: downsizing, no work/life balance, heavy-handed old-school style management
Employer was bearable up until July 2012 since UTC took over.
* Good looking women tend to get promoted.
* Favoritism and retaliation tactics by management.
* HR deparment is disconnected from the workforce and does not actively engage.
* Leaders have terrible interpersonal skills. Not uncommon to have them slam fists on the table, emotional outbursts, – more... walk past you in the hallway and glare at you and don't say "hello".
* Layoff in Q4 2012, another announced that will span Q1 2013 - Q3 2013, and rumor is another upcoming in Q2 2013.
* Extreme expectations and demands without the manpower to execute.
* Don't expect the situation to stabilize for another 12 months. – less

If your a smart stress engineer that takes initiative and is an independent thinker, this is not the place for you. Most of the good engineers left the company, some remain but do not have authority. The leadship in this group is autocratic, micro managed where only yes men can flourish. Very poor working environment. Not recommended... Engineers are punished if they think outside the box. This place needs new management...

Good company, overall, with good benefits.
Machinist (Current Employee), Wilson, NC – March 1, 2013
Pros: i enjoy learning alot about the different containers i build and how to fix them.
I work on a variety of containers, or bottles each day. Other areas bring bottles that have something wrong with them and I have to troubleshoot and find out how to fix them.

I work well with my coworkers. I am a team player and an initiator.

Old School Culture
Contract Admin (Current Employee), CT – February 25, 2013
Company offers good benefits and a good work/life balance but the site I work at places little value on young talent, has no room for growth, and has disgruntled employees. I hear that other UTC sites are not this way.

Difficult to get employed after being contracted
Myself (Current Employee), Undisclosed – February 22, 2013
Pros: free water, flexibility with schedule
Cons: corporate politics
I can't complain about the amount of flexibility this company has given me with regards to needing time for my personal life. However, there is a difficult atmosphere when people are out for themselves. I tried to apply internally and was turned down twice due to testing. Nothing is really specified but I felt as though there was a set up for failure.

I – more... have met some wonderful people along the way and learned a whole new industry in which I may pursue further. – less

Many good engineers cannot get rehired because the boss only hires yes men and punishes anyone that dares disagree with him...The stress engineer community all knows who this is.. :)

Recently became mismanaged due to restructuring (Miami site)
Machinist I (Current Employee), Miami, fl – February 21, 2013
Pros: great benifits
Cons: laziness goes unpunished while exceptional performance goes unrewarded
Have learned many different skills in the field of machining. After 6 years of loyal service, a plateau effect and lack of opportunity has morale and drive at all time low.

Productive workplace
Financial Analyst (Former Employee), Rome, NY – October 16, 2012
Pros: nice people, positive work environment
Cons: unpaid lunch, job security
You come in and work independently. No one over your shoulder at all times watching your every move. Management is very friendly. Office is setup where even people making six figures are scattered around in the same area as people on hourly wages.

Challengeing and diverse
Electrical Team Leader (Current Employee), Huyton, Merseyside – May 1, 2013
My typical day is to allocate breakdown jobs by criticallity and importance, to liase with management at daily meetings, to manage TPM and PPM projects and to maintain production levels by minimising breakdown times. To work with both service engineers and contractor control. I have learned that by mutual trust and good management of fellow workers – more... that any obsticle can be challenged. – less
