Pros

Opportunities if you either like power design or move to different departments within the company. Some great people work there. Not strict on dress code or work schedule, as long as you are getting your hours in roughly during general hours.

Cons

Company recently merged with another, and things have been going downhill. Benefits are changing to save the company me bet, but means employees lose out. Less vacation and not as flexible. Currently have low Retention with engineers. Many don't get to do much design and the pay is lower compared to other companies in the same field. New upper management doesn't know how to fix the issues, yet.

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
