Pros

Great tech! Infrared tech for military and government. Rockets and spaceships on the other side of the building. Great place to learn. Great place for new hires especially now.

Cons

Since the merger management is encouraging older workers to seek employment elsewhere to free up some cash. Things like eliminating accumulated vacation time and reducing vacation time for employees with greater than twenty years service. Liquidity is low so they are not offering to buyout older workers. The next step is a layoff of some older, higher paid workers along with some younger employees to keep it legal. Not the first time. Expect it sooner than later. I was not personally affected. I got out in time. Winter is coming.

Thank you for your review. We agree; we have great technology, a passion for our customers’ missions and a strong values-based culture where ethics, integrity and respect for all individuals are foundational. We are sorry to hear your thoughts on the upcoming vacation policy - many find our generous vacation policy employee-friendly and we are confident in the competitiveness of our total rewards package.

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
