"It is a wonderful place and a very safe place to work"

"The manufacturing / engineering industry is predominately male dominated industry, as is our company. This is also a very conservative culture but striving very hard for inclusion of all types of diversity. It is not easy to find a mentor and, as women, we tend to be paving new paths every day here. If you are persistent and willing to work hard to break through "norms", there is great opportunity at UTAS. I started my career as a secretary and was able to obtain two degrees (paid for by UTAS), travel the world, work part time and nights (while my children were young) and now hold a leadership position. Not easy - but very possible!!"

"There is significant opportunity for career growth, and movement within the corporation. However, the gender gap still exists primarily within the engineering discipline. Expect to have to fight for the same treatment as men in similar roles. Also be prepared for the stereotypical judgment to still exist where strong and aggressive women are consider "emotional". Industry wise, UTAS/UTC does what they can but a true culture change is required to see beyond the gender."

"UTC has better parental benefits than most other companies that I've looked seen, but the medical coverage is expensive. Women are treated with respect and the few incidents of disrespect that I have witnessed/experienced have been taken very seriously."

"The company truly values its employees and is committed to diversity and inclusion"
