What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working there were some of the folks who actually cared about the company and shared my work ethic. I’ll never forget those folks.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management constantly changed the plans, without much regard for what was involved in making those “on the fly” decisions. Too many nimrods in Middletown deciding what’s best for Orlando. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There were some great people there. We tended to band together and work things out by communication between us, and looking at the challenges from not only our own perspective. The difficult part was we were rarely asked for our input from the folks in Middletown.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Most days were very fast paced. Unfortunately a lot of managers s heckled you to be in meetings, which meant you had less time to help the various lines if they ran into material issues. I used to tell people what I needed and when. Not much else was needed, imo.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Worked at Kaman for 5 year, first 3 year was good, last 2 years was terrible. nightmare, basically the new management team knew nothing about the business, was very micromanaging. I am glad that I am out of Kaman. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Micromanaging, meeting almost everyday, the most funny picture was a meeting of 7 people, only one people was doing the work, rest weremanagement team. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Was friendly, not any more. The working environment was very stressful with the new management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was software developer, couldn't do anything to improve the products unless I got approval; ironically the people made decision of Yes or No knew nothing ab out the products and business

I love my job, My division was shut down the first of the year.  My job is being sent to Kansas and Vermont.  

In the six years I have been here I have had as many new managers.  I have been promised a promotion for the last 3 years but none of the new bosses honor the promises of previous bosses and none last long enough the follow through with what they promise. 

CT is expensive to business in and my work was sent elsewhere.

Well established company to work for. There is plenty of oppurtunity to advance and train in other departments.I love the people I work with and I really love what I do. The hardest part of my job is just making sure everything is done on time and to the standards that are required, because I am so hard on myself and want evrything to be perfect I am very detailed oriented.


The coworkers were friendly, management seemed really care free, most enjoyable part of the job was lunch breaks, all I did was print papers all day and listen to people nag about me jamming the printer and using up all of the ink, the pay was okay, and the job is fairly easy nothing hard at all.

I Enjoyed being employed with Kaman! They offered a great benefits package, for my self and my family. The pay wasn't all there, but being a driver, you can't typically ask for much. Great team members at the Albany location. If they stayed in the area i could have seen myself advancing further in the company.

The shop floor environment is full of hard working folks!  I am proud of our really clean and safe machine shop.  We work as a team. Its all hands on deck to make sure we design and produce the best parts while focused on a diverse product portfolio.

My co-workers are wonderful to work for, Corporate management changes don't know much about the job functions and all about numbers not their employees. Used to be a family company with long time employees now it is corporate and losing many senior employee who know the business roles.

Great company to enhance your career lots of hands on job training and documentation in QA responsibilities and policies as inspector.

Great place to work.  Need to be self motivated and be comfortable with older technologies. The hardest part about the job is the facilities need updating but management is working on that. I would recommend Kaman to my friends.
