Pros

Amazing benefits, nice people, lots of really smart people

Cons

Poor new hire retention because management (at least on the legacy Harris sites) is not super great. They are nice people, but many of the Group Leaders are doing that in addition to their higher level/expertise topic position, so less oversight unless you are on the same project team with team. Also for a lot of people, if you become an expert in something, you get pigeon-holed into that position and/or become too busy to teach/help others to reduce your workload and help develop new people.

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
