Pros

Nice people to work with a lot of work to keep you busy Dress for your day casual dress code

Cons

All employees want to be on a 9/80 schedule. The CEO won't allow all emloyees to have that! They advertise unlimited vacation, however, if you are an hourly employee you do not get the unlimited vacation. That's only given to managers and above. Also, if you're an hourly employee that is required to work a 5/8 schedule and you have any personal appts or business to handle, you will be required to use your PTO time. If you are on a 9/80 schedule at least you can use your off day for appts without it affecting your PTO time and your time away from work. They wouldn't build a parking garage at the HTC bldg. in Palm Bay when they built the bldg. so we have to walk so far from the lot to the bldg in extreme weather, heavy downpours and wind gusts. There is no shade to park under and there are never enough parking spots! It is difficult finding parking if you arrive after 8am and if you leave during the day when you return; good luck finding a parking spot. Benefits are way too high, if the company would pay more towards the benefits we would not be charged so much. Salary is lower than the competition. Bonuses would be preferred over stock options. They give you stock you have to wait years for it to vest and when it does it's less than $200. If you don't have a college degree, don't plan on growing in the company. Some of the bldgs. we work in are in very bad condition. They need to invest the money into remodeling them completely (replacing dirty, stinky carpet, painting walls, updating technology, landscaping, etc)

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
