Pros

The company's leadership talks good ideals. The company wants modernization. It is believable the company wants to foster growth and creativity.

Cons

The "merger" is really a Harris operations takeover of L3T. Former L3 divisions are left stranded as far as direction goes. Career framework restructuring has drastically undervalued employee experience -- employees with decades of experience are being classified into extremely junior positions in the career framework -- I've seen reclassification of people with 20 years experience to a title for someone with a degree and 2 years experience. We are all waiting to see how abysmal the mapping of L3 salaries will be in the merged company. Benefits immediately became more expensive after the merger. Leadership continually tries claiming we are still competitive to our peer companies, yet tries to say we are going to be better. Enormous amounts of senior, experienced people are effectively being forced out. There is a definite shift towards junior roles, which will lead to massive turn over when leaving the company becomes the only option for career growth/raises.

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
