Review from Operations Dept
WAS GREAT AT THE BEGINNING, NOW THERE ARE TOO MANY INCOMPETENT PEOPLE
Review from Product Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Their ability for leadership to help prioritize the ability to battle fires in a professional manner with streamlined coordination and communication. Their leadership is key to bringing the team together and knocking out the issue quickly and efficiently.
Review from Engineering Dept
Compassionate leadership exists throughout Bell. The management at Bell will work with you as if you are a long term investment person. We all experience personal or family issues that need to be addressed. Bell is excellent in this regard.
Review from Engineering Dept
No positives to say currently.
Review from Operations Dept
they listen to the workers about their needs and wants and try to fulfill them. Sometimes they get it right.
Review from Product Dept
Seems to be a little more interest coming from the office lately.
Review from Admin Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT AND EQUAL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ALL
Review from Product Dept
Caring about the employees. Fire exits doors hard or can't open. The clean rooms are dirty. Leadership more worried about parking closer than their employees and disabled. Taking away bbut that transport disabled down a 6-tier step to get into the building.
Review from Product Dept
Get back to the fundamentals of warfighter focus, quality products, and filling positions with the right people for the job rather than trying to compile metrics that appease the current woke cause du jour.
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership team largely changed in 2023 and it feels like there is a different culture at Bell now. Listening to those with less empowered voices should be worked on.
Review from Finance Dept
Aligning the company with the market as it is, vice how the company would like it to be. Bell is working as a legacy aircraft manufacturer but is competing in a much more dynamic market than previous years.
Review from Sales Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
401k with great vacancy & PTO.
Review from Engineering Dept
Fair salary compared to other similar industries in the area.
Review from Engineering Dept
my 401K and my medical benefits
Review from Product Dept
9/80 work week with 5-6 weeks of PTO a year
Review from Engineering Dept
You get paid for the hours you work due to the shortage of personnel.
Review from Admin Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The DFW aviation/rotorcraft market is far ahead of Bell in terms of compensation, benefits, work from home, and career paths for progression. Bell seems to be about 2 generations behind the industry curve. Not a good thing to be showing the world when we just won the largest Army program to-date.
Review from Engineering Dept
NOT BEING TREATED EQUALLY BY MANANGEMENT AND BENEFITS COULD BE BETTER IF WE HAD BETTER UNION REPRESENTATION INSTEAD OF THE JOKE WE HAVE NOW
Review from Product Dept
Lowest pay scale in the company with the highest maintained certificates.

It is below market average for a financial analyst.
Review from Finance Dept
That will be discussed during contract.

Our Team communicates on a daily basis.

Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT CARED ABOUT THEIR JOBS AND HAD SOME COMMON SENSE ABOUT THEIR SELVES
Review from Product Dept
their attitude towards their job and coworkers could be better.
Review from Product Dept
The department needs to get rid of the ones that just show up and don't work.
Review from Admin Dept
For tyhem to take pride in work and not be lazy!
Review from Product Dept
Some teams just mesh better than others. I am on a smaller team but that also means we won't have as many events outside of work to help the team bond as well as bigger programs.
Review from Finance Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Easy going people to work for and with.
Review from Engineering Dept
Everyone's ability to help each other and build each other up.
Review from Engineering Dept
The most overlooked feature about Bell is its Tech Fellow system which has the power and authority to break silos (individual program needs or schedules), to do the right thing. Having a Tech Fellow System ensures Bell will never have a whistle blower incident.
Review from Engineering Dept
ONE AND A HALF YEARS TO RETIREMENT
Review from Product Dept
Most employees are friendly and open-minded.
Review from Operations Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Include hourly personnel to participate in company function.
Review from Product Dept
Current office conditions for our group are worse than a supply shack at a Texas state park. One of the remaining areas to be renovated. Having been told a move is imminent 18 months ago, it now appears we are a forgotten group.
Review from Engineering Dept
Fair days wage for a fair days work, especially in the technical skills professions.
Review from Operations Dept
More work needed to sustain until v280

Flexible schedule to work at home, more accountability of peers, leadership interaction, leaders show they care - we aren't just a number

What did you like most about the interview process?
Interview with a team of Eng. Also the manger.
Review from Engineering Dept
There was only one interview with the hiring manager, I didn't have to do multiple interviews
Review from Engineering Dept
Interviewers took the time to fully understand what type of job and responsibilities I was seeking. They clearly explained what I would be doing and the company structure.
Review from Engineering Dept
friendliness and knowledge of the interviewer
Review from Operations Dept
Ultimately, I got the job.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Id first hire people for what experience they have for the job they are applying for. Meaning, I would hire the folks who are qualified for the job and not because someone in their family works here, or they are my favorite server at the restaurant where I like to eat.
Review from Customer Success Dept

The people and co-workers great team.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
BETTER MANAGEMENT AND HAVE RESPECT FOR THE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK TO IMPROVE THE DEPARTMENT
Review from Product Dept
Find a manager that is not a tyrant.
Review from Product Dept
There are constant changes to the work requirement and changes to amount of hours required to work. Plus have to switch days working week days to weekends. With no consideration of personnel life.
Review from Product Dept
Too many folks seem happy to continue to operate as they have done for the last 10-15 years rather than exploring new and more efficient methods / processes / technologies to streamline a business function without sacrificing quality - contracts and supplier contracts management teams take note.
Review from Engineering Dept
Our group needs to build a team that is respected and looked up to. This has created an environment that is toxic and unproductive. In order to improve this situation, the individuals need to be removed. Only then can the team build as a strong, productive, professional group.
Review from Operations Dept
What do you like best about your company?
Making a difference everyday I come in.
Review from Business Development Dept
They offer Education Assistance to pay for my graduate degree.
Review from Engineering Dept
We are constantly pushing boundaries in not only our product offerings but culture as well
The innovative ways we are changing the landscape for the future of technology and flight as we know it.
Review from HR Dept
Big enough to be safe, small enough to be agile
Review from Customer Support Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
More focus on performance and less on pronouns.
Review from Business Development Dept
Company Culture is to maintain authority in a pyramid structure, with very little authority given to lower level management and individual contributors. The pyramid should be flattened, and all employees empowered to make more decisions, and then held responsible for those outcomes.
Review from Engineering Dept
Increase corporate bravery
