Pros

Good benefits, "unlimited" PTO/Sick time. Good teams and culture in some scenarios. Every other friday off with 9/80 schedule.

Cons

The recent removal of hybrid work modality. Return To Office mandate effective 9/16/2024. Upper management is thirsty for cost-cutting and is becoming micro-managers. Promotion freezes. The high learning curve, it is more than just knowing how to do your job. Lots of learning huge systems and their nuances along with your job. Not many opportunities for career growth for younger individuals. One path forward into management. The Timecard system must be completed daily with detailed charging instructions, even though you are salaried. Overall hostile attitude towards remote & hybrid workers from corporate. New-hires will be paid more than higher levels due to meager 1-3% yearly raises. Does not keep up with inflation. Cafeteria options are not great at all, not free, and is on the pricier side. Some areas of the company expect overtime or strongly suggest it.

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
