Pros

Payment and benefits are good Coworkers are friendly.

Cons

We're treated with the assumption that we'll all do something illegal. Recently we've lost the ability to exit the building through the side doors closest to parking; so must walk longer in the cold. This is to check everyone's bags more often. a different recent policy change was explained to me as being necessary to "justify your position" which tells me they don't really see a need for this position, doesn't instill great confidence. Poor management. Really feel unclear about direction, and can't get a good answer when I ask. most positions seem to be dead ends, meaning you'll probably never get a raise without changing positions or going somewhere else.

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
