Review from Engineering Dept
There isn't anything I like about my leadership team.
Review from Finance Dept
Very accessible and always open to have a conversation.
Review from Engineering 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
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Personal Accountability, Integrity, responsibility, leadership skills, knowing your people, learning how to motivate and retail quality people, been in position for nearly two years with no personal or group training with my director.
Review from Operations Dept
enforce some rules, stop the favoritism seems like no one is going to bat for the guys on the floor
Review from Operations Dept
communication flow, ensuring work life balance, listening to concerns and feedback
Review from HR Dept
Taking Covid seriously, valuing their employees as much as they value their shareholders, paying us competitively, not seeing benefits as a way to trim expenses and make more for shareholders, providing comfortable and modern working environments, embracing WFH like the rest of the industry.
Review from Executive Dept
Understand the product we are producing. On the SSC program, most Director level people and up are clueless about fabrication and large assembly. Most are from other Txt BU's that only deal with assembly (not fabrication).They fail to understand core vs. context for this work. The facility is a joke
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Retirement plan and education assistance.
Review from HR Dept
Paid time off and parental leave.

Competitive for the market, especially for new hires.

Knowing that I have the best health benefits a company can offer.
Review from Finance Dept
Happy that it appears to be fair.
Review from Legal Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
pay is not equitable to experience or accountability. A change in management structure.
Review from Operations Dept
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 feel like our team is underappreciated at times and yearly bonus's could be a little better
Review from HR Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Prior experience, Experience and Knowledge of the mission.
Review from Operations Dept
The team works together and shares knowledge, there isn't one person that tries to keep things to themselves to they are considered better than the others.
Review from HR Dept
Always willing to help whenever needed.
Review from Engineering Dept
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
"All in" for the programs that they support!
Review from Legal Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
There is a lack of a positive attitude and a desire to strive for greatness.
Review from Engineering Dept
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
My coworkers need to work on their technical expertise to relate better to the other teams here. Especially our engineering groups. They also need to show up to work and be more accountable and work on their time management
Review from Customer Support Dept
all departments have an us versus them mentality and it makes it difficult to get work done cross various departments
Review from Operations 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
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I appreciate the open lines of communication and the all hands on deck approach.
Review from HR Dept
I love what I do in regards to job duties but that's it.
Review from Finance Dept
The way it supports the Textron way of being customer focused.
Review from Legal Dept
the availability of people to help when needed along with team gatherings one in a while to boost morale
Review from Finance Dept
There is a culture of respect at Textron Systems.
Review from Admin Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Start with leadership, instill value and appreciation by achievements and inhouse perks. More training.
Review from Operations Dept
Using personality tests to assist with staffing teams could go a long way in increasing team morale.
Review from Engineering Dept
TOO NEW TO THE COMPANY TO EVEN ANSWER
Review from Product Dept
Culture is not the problem, incompetence of our product/process (or lack thereof) at the Director level and thru the CEO is. It is like saying Enron had a culture problem. . . . no, the core business model was flawed, and no amount of 'culture' could save it.
Review from Engineering Dept
More alignment with COVID strategies from the top down to the employee level. More acknowledgement of hardships faced over the last 2 years and especially for those we have lost from COVID. Better recreation activities sponsored by the company like picnics
Review from Customer Support Dept

Timely response rates, flexible scheduling, conversations with hiring managers.
Review from HR Dept
Management was very down to earth and open and honest on the challenges I would face in my new position.
Review from Engineering Dept
The speed from interview to offer was within 2 days.
Review from HR Dept
All of the people that I met with were friendly and helpful
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Currently our interview process requires applicants to interview with too many different individuals.
Review from Engineering Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
I like that I am left alone to do my job and not micro managed.

I am doing failure analysis, which I am extremely interested in. I also have an outstanding boss

Working on awesome products and making a difference.

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
here to support our customers in a way that makes Textron look good!
Review from Legal Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
earlier stated, change in leadership. increase pay
Review from Operations Dept
There is little sense of "team" in my current group. Creating an environment where people enjoy working with one another is crucial. There is little that is done from management to address personality differences between team members when such differences occur.
Review from Engineering Dept
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
Continual fire fighting takes a heavy toll

What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Mentorship programs to those whose career paths were stifled by old generational thinking. Look in your Admin pool for some brilliant minds who have been shut out or not allowed a seat at the table because they didn't have male attributes.
