Pacstar: Growing Pains - Senior Electrical Engineer Curtiss-Wright Employee Review

Staff appreciate the job stability, good pay/benefits relative to the Aerospace & Defense industry, and highly professional engineering teams. Many report a strong sense of purpose and trust in their immediate colleagues.

On the downside, some reviewers cite a top-heavy, process-oriented management structure, occasional disjointed communication across departments, and strict, high-pressure deadlines.

2 weeks PTO to start and 5 additional personal days (at least when I was there), flexible if you need to leave for appointments, good coworkers, benefits weren’t bad, good direct supervisors, employee events (cookouts, periodic lunches), lots of available overtime

“Multi billion dollar company that nobody’s ever heard of” that doesn’t give ANY kind of monetary bonus, but frequently brags about how much money is being made, upper management has no idea how things work but love to tell you how to do your job, issues with coworkers/ other employees seemingly went un-addressed or ignored
