Pros

Nothing spectacular about this company. Very similar to other defense contractors. Employee experience can vary widely. A decent choice if you want to work and live in Melbourne/Palm Bay. My experience: -Decent amount of tools and system test infrastructure available -Little to no overtime (project dependent) -Plenty of decent and intelligent people

Cons

This company also shares common complaints among other defense contractors. This company exists to generate value for shareholders and they don't try to hard to cover it up. I don't plan to stay here long term. - Assigned project and work location after starting was different than the interview. - Speed is absolute priority above all else - Program schedules can have resolution down to the hour and frequently change priorities - Accepted job with hybrid schedule but now forced 100% onsite - Little/no ability for career growth

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
