Pros

- Good pay with respect to the job market. - Good work life balance with respect to similar companies. - Some projects are actually interesting and not some nebulous, abstract concept.

Cons

- Leadership is fragmented amongst different divisions, so one site may be run like a well oiled machine while another site may be filled with headless chickens. Kind of hit or miss. - Lack of true senior leaders or domain experts in my particular division. - Lack of cross-collaboration or cross-utilization of knowledge and resources. Probably due to several recent company acquisitions. - Some parts of the IT infra are hopelessly stuck 10 years behind, which actually hinders our engineering progress. Lots of red tape in IT.

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
