Pros

People that I work with - Unlimited Sick and Vacation ( I wouldn't use more than 5 weeks total) - Tuition Reimbursement (20K a calendar year) - 401K match (6%) - Every other Friday off (But we work 9 hour work days)

Cons

- Lay offs 2 years an a row now - Horrible raises this year (1-2% max) - If there no work, you better find work, or else..... - If you charge In-Direct Labor (work not linked to an active contract) RIP - Horrible management structure. Your supervisor has no clue what you're working on unless you directly tell them - You can easily stay at your current level for YEARS. Be a star and stand out to be promoted

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
