What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The leadership puts an importance on balance.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Seem to be an open book and receptive.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They are open to collaboration.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

401k percentage match is great, but vested timeline is rather poor. Many companies offer immediate vesting these days, Textron should be following that lead.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Work can get monotonous for long stretches of time, based upon what work is available to do. Just because you ask for more challenges, doesn't mean these challenges are even available.
