Pros

L3 is just as average as many other companies other there. At the end of the day they treat us reasonably. The flexible scheduling in Salt Lake City was nicer than it used to be. Still, you have the option of a 4/10 or 9/80 work week. If your management approves it, on occasion, you can do a flex week which means you have to get 80 hours in a two week period. When I am done for the day, I am done. I don't worry about tomorrow. Tuition assistance is nice, but becoming harder to utilize the full $10k.

Cons

Health insurance was better. Once L3 merged with Harris, Bill Brown (CEO) gutted our insurance with a more expensive program that covers less. We've switched to an "Discretionary Vacation" policy that makes it more difficult to use. If you have last minute plans to take some time off, forget it. You have to really plan out when you're going to take time off. Remote opportunities are inconsistent based on management. Some teams are better than others and will treat you like an adult. Unless there is a pandemic, good luck trying to get the opportunity to work from home. Any professional development is done on your own time.

Pros

* The products are really cool, and I like what I get to work on. * Good people work here, and I enjoy the folks I work with. Despite the clearance requirement, it's a pretty diverse group, and I like that. My current program manager is amazing, and my supervisor is very bright.

Cons

* The segment I work in is drowning in technical debt, and my job for the past 15 months has been nothing but paying this debt off. The product I work on has 30 years of baggage. * The company does not invest in its own products, instead relying on coaxing out budget for critical fixes from customers. Customers only want features, they don't understand the need for better architecture. * Unlimited PTO is a complete scam. You can't actually take unlimited PTO, all it means is the company no longer compensates you for PTO you don't use upon separation. * The other benefits are definitely worse since the merge with Harris. They cost more, much more, while having more restrictions. The company slashed recognition bonuses, and the IT is stuck in the stone ages, (It's sad to say that this bullet point applies to a lot of big defense companies, or so I've been told, which means no reason to work here over anywhere else).
