Pros

They are offering competitive salaries. Also, many business units work on interesting tech that is postured well for for future (electronic warfare, cyber weapons, etc)

Cons

Corporate communication, training and strategy portrays the picture of a well established, blue chip defense contractor, however, on the ground level, that isnt reality. Many business units have not integrated to the larger corporate processes or are lacking processes and documentation all together. Many instances of work being executed without defined processes/well formed plans. Resistance to change from legacy employees at independent business site. Questionable messages from executive management (was explicitly told you should be losing sleep if your program is in any way financially red, CAMs should be fired if they come to you with a variance of +/- 5%, etc

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
