Working at Bombardier in Pittsburgh, PA: 5 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Pittsburgh, PA Area

"I have been working with Bombardier since 2016. I started as an intern and worked my way up the ladder to become a software developer. A great place to learn and grow, amazing mentors everywhere."

"I have been working at bombardier for the past 2 years and in my honest experience, I find the company at its best in business tactics but what it shines for with its customers, it lacks with its employees. Overall a fun place to be at and learn, but career growth is a perk not everyone gets."

"Bombardier used to be a good place to work. It is now more of a bureaucracy than a technology company. They have their experienced engineers frequently doing work other companies would assign to PA, secretaries or not do at all. It is a shame because there are interesting projects. The management is spineless and does nothing to control scope creep and gives away free development to the customers consistently. Also, training and R&D are no existent which are hallmarks of a poorly run company."
