Company has gotten too big and too disjointed to work effectively. Central functions do not have a clear picture of what they're accountable for, and the relationship with SBUs and the RTX mothership makes decision making and project execution extremely slow and painful
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Health care options are limited and costs are high
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Peers genuinely care about one another and work very hard to move things forward
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Excessive and unproductive meetings. Lack of a cohesive and consistent strategy and roles/responsibilities means everyone is involved in everything, but there isn't enough ownership, accountability, and empowerment for anyone to actually drive tasks to closure
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It took months--that should have been my warning sign! Very poor communication during interview/candidacy process. Insufficient opportunity to get to know the company and team Onboarding was an absolute nightmare. Took months to sort everything out
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Excessively complex and bureaucratic organization - accomplishing daily administrative tasks feels like a miracle. Poor focus - strategy constantly shifts, and is not translated effectively into team-level objectives or individual goals. Performance management is effectively non-existent.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
People - clearly a "profits over people" company. Happy to chew up and spit out its "most valuable asset" to line the pockets of execs and shareholders Communication - poor, inconsistent, mixed messages Leadership - frequent leadership changes leads to constant strategy shifts
