Pros

Balanced Work Load Awesome People Unique Work Experiences

Cons

- Went from flex time to forced 9/80 (this decreases our work life balance and our ability to adjust schedules to suit program needs) - Unlimited PTO is really a 4 week cap. (Which you will be forced into using more of because the lack of flex time. They do "unlimited" so they don't have to pay out vacation time when you quit) - Completely Bueructatic - raises and promotions can take 4+ months for many people - Annual raises are about 3% or lower. Very hard to get ahead. But they'll hire new people above you in wage. - They don't pay bonuses, but will give sign on bonuses to new hires of 20-40k - They are trying very hard to get new talent, but putting no effort into keeping talent. The turn over is high and on legacy projects no one has a clue what is going on anymore. - Expensive healthcare plans - No retirement matching the first year - They gave us Juneteenth off, but took away one of our holiday break days. I'd rather have all my holidays off in a row. Switching this holiday was a PR stunt. 0 benefit to the employees.

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
