Pros

Local management at my facility was good. Very much a close-knit environment. Good pay for the location and decent benefits.

Cons

As a legacy L3 employee, I will admit the merger with Harris really changed the landscape for me. Lots of change either already implemented and more to come. They touted a “merger of equals” throughout the process but it was SO apparent that Harris was taking complete control. We were used to the perks of being a holding company as L3 and those days are long gone. I ultimately decided to leave because everyone and everything I liked about working at my facility were either leaving or already gone. I wish them the best, but I don’t feel as if this merger was beneficial for us in all honesty.

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
