Pros

Co-workers care about the work they do and are great to work with. Everyone is willing to help each other out. Corporate is ethical and strives to uphold an accepting positive working environment.

Cons

Management is metric driven, which tends to ignore practicality in favor of numbers. The Clifton location used to be more of a family atmosphere, but is slowly slipping into a more corporate feel. They tend to favor outside hires and experienced people are leaving more often than not and their knowledge tends to leave with them.

Pros

Missions are impactful to the world Top talent in specialized fields Wonderful people Respectful environment

Cons

Processes and policies are not robust enough to support the large growth / merger, which leaves everyone operating in silos and interpreting things in their own ways Shared service model is not structured properly Not enough critical thinking around how budgets should be allocated for tools, capital, and salaries Higher level leaders are too in the weeds and not working on the harder strategic aspects Businesses are not aligned with common products to gain best synergies as all businesses fight to defend $s not what actually makes sense for the company (radios sharing same suppliers are in completely different segments; CCAs are built across 10+ different factories managed by different management teams instead of a couple of large COEs) All leaders felt unempowered due to lack of ownership of budgets. Budgets were set but then adjusted at further levels without any additional discussion of new targets and how to achieve. Then budgets would be reallocated a few months into year if you weren't demonstrating that you truly need it. This drove teams to spend heavy up front and not make the smartest decisions at times
