United Technologies traces its history back to a 1929 merger between several companies including Boeing, Sikorski, and Pratt & Whitney. The Air Mail Act of 1934 forced the company to break into 3 parts, one of which was United Aircraft. The company kept the United Aircraft name until becoming United Technologies in 1975. This was followed by the acquisition of several companies involved in a variety of technologies including Otis Elevator and Chubb Security. Today the company continues to operate several subsidiaries including Sikorsky Aircraft. If you have a passion for high tech design, engineering, manufacturing or sales, then United Technologies is an excellent place to begin a job search.
United Technologies takes an active role in the political process, and was the 6th largest defense industry donor during the 2004 election cycle. It was also one of only 53 companies to contribute the legal maximum to the 2nd inauguration of President George W. Bush. Unsurprisingly, UT donates substantially more to Republican candidates, both on the national and state level.
As a military contractor, UT also employs people in a variety of fields including compliance officers, along with a variety of positions involved in policy shaping and analysis. Other job tracks include manufacturing, public relations, logistics, and information technology. All told, United Technologies employs a little over 200,000 people.
