Pros

Mid-level management and individual contributors are good to work with Strong team mentality

Cons

Since the merger, growth is nearly impossible. Raises are capped for teams at 2.5% each year, including promotions. So if you get something higher than 2.5%, that means someone else probably didn’t get a raise. The good managers are thus limiting promotions for the total team’s sake. If you do get a promotion, know that there’s a target on your back to get let go. The recent layoffs have consistently gone after higher level employees with higher salaries. There are plenty of single points of failure, who have either quit or been laid off, causing production lines to go down and deliveries to be delayed. Layoffs are a common occurrence - at least twice a year if not quarterly.

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
