Former Employee – worked at L-3 Communications full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Good jobs with great opportunities if you are a male

Cons – Old boy network, multiple generations of families there and those in middle manage are unwilling to improve and catch up with modern practices/policies

Advice to Senior Management – Corporate needs to come in and clean up the 'Good-ol-boy' network and modernize procedures. This plant gives the other plants of L-3 a bad image. The Communication Systems West division is light years ahead of the MID division in linking and tracking parts in 'Team Center', the database system that tracks all of the parts, eco's, etc. The MID division is good at hiding the good-ol-boy network mentality and seams to promote the problem makers and those incompetent in performing their job versus addressing the problem.

Former Employee – worked at L-3 Communications as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Management was great! senior level management took interest in me (a lowly intern) and made sure that I had the resources and the contacts to succeed at my job. My immediate management trained me well and worked with me not just around me.

There is a wide ranged of people working there and the environment there is one of cooperation so that the engineers work with the mechanics, HR, management, and sales to make the best project without much fuss over rank.

Project focused with enough flexibility to listen to new ideas

Cons – Due to being a Defense contract employee, your time is strictly monitored and categorized.

Employees defining goals and deadlines of projects were not always the employees with the best understanding of the project and would require unrealistic or unnecessary benchmarks.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
