Pros

Good vacation leave if your supervisor let's you take it and if your not inundated with work because you're surrounded by incompetence

Cons

Where to begin? Waste, fraud, and rampant abuse everywhere, you just need to open your eyes and look. Terrible management at every level. No one really cares about the rank and file executing the work. Covid19 showed how useless the group leads/managers are. And for the young folks there...I don't think there's a single one that isn't desperately looking to get out. Billy Brown will take his money and run soon, so when defense takes a cut, expect the hatcheting to start.

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
