Great potential held back by an archaic culture

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Hexcel is a company with great growth prospects, reasonable compensation and excellent people at the non management level. Work life balance is second to none.

Cons

The pervasive culture is one of CYA and a dismissal of new ideas and continuous improvement. There is a definite "ol boys" network that can make day to day life miserable.

Pros

Benefits are good. People are mostly nice

Cons

This company is stereotypical "Corporate America" where they push you to do more and more yet they offer little to no return for your hard work. Work / Life balance is terrible The people who do well here are those who put in 80+ hours a week. Pay isn't enough for what they require you to sacrifice. If something goes wrong, management always goes head hunting, looking for someone to peg the blame on.

Dictatorial and unfair management practice

Pros

There is anything good to say about this company. The above average pay you receive is really not worth the trouble, the stress you will add to your life. Find something else to do even it pays less. You will be much happier in the end.

Cons

Poor morale and lots of gossips. Employees are treated just like a number by HR and management. Poor management and favoritism are well and alive at this company. Employees are treated too unfairly for petty things. There is no common sense. If anyone has a vendetta against you, you may as well look for another job. There is no open door. Whatever someone says against you is what matters. There is no sense of investigating and finding out the truth. In fact, going to HR as last resort can be used against you. If you have an issues, there is really to talk to.
