Textron Systems Finance Department Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
There isn't anything I like about my leadership team.
Review from Finance Dept
In the past several years while working here at Textron Systems I have learned so much on the job training. At the end of the day, I love the fact that while I am working, I too am learning and can personally benefit professionally by being employed at Textron.
Review from Finance Dept
Our leadership is very experienced. They bring a ton of industry, practical, real-world knowledge. Our leadership team is very bright.
Review from Finance Dept
They are caring, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Review from Finance Dept
I love the fact the they actually promote a work life balance and its not just words.
Review from Finance Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Executive leadership is extremely resistant to remote or hybrid work. We are severely suffering with retention and are rarely able to hire anyone experienced, and leadership action has taken too long to change this. You are expected to get the job done at any cost to your personal life.
Review from Finance Dept
Leadership needs to care about employee health. Every decision they have made, or not made, about COVID 19 is disturbing. Also, they accept overwork, burnout, and high turnover as natural consequences of being employed at Textron. There is no real diversity. Flexible remote work must be offered.
Review from Finance Dept
The ELT seems out of touch with what is going on below them. I believe this has always been the case, but COVID put it under a microscope. How many of these surveys can we fill out? Nothing will change.
Review from Finance Dept
The work environment is terrible. Limited remote flexibility for cube jobs, no windows, not with the times
Review from Finance Dept
they should care more about employees
Review from Finance Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Knowing that I have the best health benefits a company can offer.
Review from Finance Dept
9% match and every other friday off
Review from Finance Dept
The best part about my compensation package is the amount of vacation accrual hours.
Review from Finance Dept
The 401k and TSP Plus are great for retirement. Downside is the 5 year vesting requirement.
Review from Finance Dept
401K match and annual reviews merit/salary increases are appreciated for acknowledgment of work.
Review from Finance Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
What I currently make is the same as what I was making 13 years ago. I am experienced and not planning on leaving but I'm still paid what someone that is just starting out in their career is making.
Review from Finance Dept
pay does not equate to the cost of living and inflation.
Review from Finance Dept
I believe there should be cost of living raises and the opportunity to work from home. Some people in the company get paid the same as me but get to work from home so in the long wrong are making more.
Review from Finance Dept
I made more money doing the same job 12 years ago. I stay because of the company culture but staying makes it financially difficult especially with the way medical plans are now and the amount of money that has to come out of pocket.
Review from Finance Dept
annual raises should reflect inflation, bonuses should be in place
Review from Finance Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Our department has been a revolving door since my original boss retired, however, however, my coworkers who have been employed here for more than a decade is stellar!
Review from Finance Dept
able to collaborate well together
Review from Finance Dept
I value intelligence and accountability.
Review from Finance Dept
We all take them to get to know each other. My teammates are super helpful.
Review from Finance Dept
The best thing about my team is that we work well as a team and everyone is willing to help other team members when needed.
Review from Finance Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The moral in my department is non-existent and when you have a manager that refuses to participate in team building events because they don't want to "end up getting something stupid because it would piss them off" (exact words), that disparaging attitude carries over to everyone else.
Review from Finance Dept
We have people in the department that should not have been hired as they were completely unqualified and they DO NOT show themselves as part of a team at all and try to get others to do their work and abused the remote working as an additional way to not do work. Other teams members are great though
Review from Finance Dept
People who care and work hard get overwhelmed and burn out. High performers rarely stay because of this. Training is extremely poor, causing significant problems with backfills. More senior analysts have less responsibility than new hires. Everyone is understaffed.
Review from Finance Dept
The overall culture at Systems need to change. In general employees are brash, selfish, and out of touch.
Review from Finance Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I love what I do in regards to job duties but that's it.
Review from Finance Dept
the availability of people to help when needed along with team gatherings one in a while to boost morale
Review from Finance Dept
I am grateful for the amount of creative control I have and I appreciate this responsibility.
Review from Finance Dept
I like how we try to have biweekly quick tag ups where we take 15 mins to play a game or do something to get to know each other.
Review from Finance Dept
The ability to share my thoughts and valued as an employee are the most positive aspect of the culture and environment at my company.
Review from Finance Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to make sure that the correct people are in the correct positions to advance not only the company but the team and individuals as well.
Review from Finance Dept
Management needs to re-evaluate its resistance to allowing hybrid work. Many departments have already proved that it works for them, and ELT's resistance has made me worried about our company's ability to attract future talent with this outdated philosophy.
Review from Finance Dept
Certain organizations are too lean, putting pressure on employee morale. There is no time to learn and be curious. New hires are dumped on. a Work From Home option would also be nice.
Review from Finance Dept
Remote work flexibility - simple, easy and will save overhead money. With covid over I'm afraid we will be taking a step back

What makes you most happy at work?
The core objective of the program I am working on! I am passionate about our men and women in the Arm Forces. I want to be able to give back something for the greatest sacrifice they have given me and my family!
Review from Finance Dept
Feeling like I'm making a difference.
Review from Finance Dept
The work, my two friends, the paycheck
Review from Finance Dept
I really enjoy the diversity of duties that I have and the challenge that comes with those duties. I strive when pushed and challenged and a routine where everything is the same would not work for me.
Review from Finance Dept
Feeling valued and my work appreciated make me most happy at work.
Review from Finance Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The management team for my department hasn't and won't do anything to earn the respect of employees and have put people into roles that they either aren't qualified for or have an inappropriate attitude for the role that they have been given.
Review from Finance Dept
the ability to work from home would make it better. our jobs are fully remote but we are expected in person for meetings which are never in person
Review from Finance Dept
Something has to be done about the lack of experience, burnout, and turnover. Do better succession planning, even at lower levels. The best people leave. Too many people are getting exemptions from vaccination. Our cubes aren't ergonomic. The domain based approach is creating even worse silos.
Review from Finance Dept
We need remote work option and to retain employees. We need to pay people. Leadership needs to care about employee's health and happiness at work. We need better benefits, IT infrastructure, to have trained back ups, and ergonomic desks.
Review from Finance Dept
I've worked at 3 different companies prior to Systems. The culture here is BY FAR the worst. From poor facilities to a lack of communication from leadership to a consensus unhappy workforce, it's clear that our company needs big changes.
