Pros
Textron does many things well. Good salaries, generally good management, and in my experience, they treat their employees well. Layoffs do come with the fluctuations in the industry, but the folks who do get laid off are demonstrably lower performers.
Cons
Advancement opportunities and salary range promotion are almost exclusively tenure based. Annual merit raises have less to do with merit and more to do with time served. Great for someone who want to stay with the company for the long haul, but don't expect above average compensation for above average performance. My particular department did not take performance reviews very seriously, which I think contributes greatly to my previous gripe.
