Pros

- Team members and coworkers tend to be great to work with. - Work/life balance (if you're not on a program that was intentionally under-bid)

Cons

Upper management is constantly lying. More and more layoffs that are basically random - upper mgmt says they are 'performance' or 'program needs' based, but the program leaders aren't even aware the layoffs are happening until after it's done, and it's obvious to the actual workers that performance has nothing to do with it. Just have to hope your number doesn't come up in the RNG layoff machine - no matter how good your performance reviews.

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
