Pros

In-house cafeteria with good food.

Cons

Upper and middle management at San Diego location are like fish out of water, not qualified for their job. Chief electrical engineer is basically a DEI promotion and completely clueless. Backstabbing is rampant. Old-boy club who are protected by their friends. They can do what they want, break any rules they want, but the rest of the employees must tread very careful. Wor8k building squeeks and crackle when walked on. Signs everywhere stating you can't walk and talk on your phone at the same time. Safety training video on how to properly walk the stairs.

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
