What makes it so great? Want to learn how to fly? Rockwell Collins will teach you. All employees (including new hires) at this Cedar Rapids communications, aviation and electronics engineering company are able to receive 100% tuition reimbursement. New hires are able to take classes at ground school, the first steps in becoming a pilot. Once they've mastered the basics, they can work their way toward cockpit and flight training. And new hires receive nearly five weeks of paid time off, including 15 vacation days, six national holidays, and an eight-day winter break. New hires can expect to work in one of the company's offices in the U.S - including Dallas; Washington D.C.; Melbourne, Fla.; and San Jose - with a possible relocation to its international operations, located in London, Toulouse, and Heidelberg. Some new grads who recently served six months in Iowa are now being transferred to France.
