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

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
