Pros

Paid overtime, at least for now.

Cons

Harris takeover has been obnoxious. Constantly attempting to slash employee benefits and compensation in favor of profit. Program management is getting to be completely incompetent. We have to work more and more with people who favor schedule over quality. The long term relationships we’ve built with many customers has really faltered. Upper management appears clueless. We’ve been told on many occasions that our new contracts would be won without issue only to have them put on stop over and over. Understaffing issues seem to be ignored by higher ups.

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
