Pros

Worked with a great group of people in the office

Cons

A few of my colleges and I were laid off two and a half weeks before the holidays just so the company could save a little bit of money. We worked all through the pandemic because we were considered "essential". Meanwhile, other low preforming employees had been sitting on IDL for over a year and were able to find jobs elsewhere in the company or at some other company. As soon as work started to slow down, the employees who had been working the whole time were suddenly laid off the very next week. I was escorted out of the building and not even allowed to have some time to pack my personal items in my cube because they insisted on shipping them to me. I had worked there for almost 15 years and they treated me like I had done something terrible and needed to be escorted out immediately.

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
