Desventajas
- Advancement in technical rates is poor, growth is zero. The performance evaluation procedure is a complete waste of time. The human resources employees are outsourced and do not work for Textron. - Excessively process oriented, to the point where it is difficult to accomplish daily tasks. - Middle management is a class on its own, most of them never did any actual work. - Poor performers are impossible to get rid of. - Salary is not market competitive for experience. - Layoffs are handled poorly. - Two layers of management has become the norm, an 'administrative' and a technical lead. This means dual the meetings and dual the wasted time.
