L-3 Communications Reviews

What is it like working at L-3 Communications?

Great company to work for, bad management.
Software Engineer in Greenville:
Pros: The convience of working close to home and the flexible schedule.
Cons: How incapable people are hired for position they should not be in, and everyone sees this, but no one is ever terminated, just moved to another task or position. The same thing applies for management.
Stressful.
Strategic Sourcing Specialist in Clinton:
Pros: The work hours
Cons: Unstableness
Non Value Added activity everyday, they do not practice CPI.
Electromechanical Engineer in Mesa:
Pros: The folks I work with on the shop floor.
Cons: Management is unqualified and for the most part clueless, they do not promote doing things right the first time, a tremendous amount of rework!
Dynamic position with great learning opportunities.
Human Resources (HR) Director in Lafayette:
Pros: people, learning, growth,
Cons: bureaucracy
Challenging, but rewarding.
Security Manager in San Diego:
Pros: The people
Cons: Nothing, it is a great place to work.
Senior Technical Writer:
Pros: Fascinating industry (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance). Very good pay and benefits. Cons: Zero training or mentoring. Limited “employee-development” programs. Consistent erosion of benefits over time. Very wide salary ranges with no clear “formula” to know if you’re in the gender-wage gap or if your pay is commensurate with skills and experience. Layoffs include people in spitting distance of retirement. Engineers rule. Men rule. Less than 10% female employees. Even less than that in Management. Money is the name of the game. Corporate speak is about supporting the warfighter, but it’s big businessmen doing big deals with big corporations (including government) with deep pockets. Zero attention to workflow efficiency. Not female friendly. In a big corporate meeting, an engineer stood up and said he wants to see Management take sexual-harassment reports seriously. Haven’t met anyone other than a few engineers who love their job.
Program Manager, Aviation / Aerospace:
The work itself has always been interesting and I have been given a reasonable amount of latitude to accomplish my programs. However leadership 2nd guesses if anything is not perfect and bases raises and promotions on popularity contests not on what you've accomplished.
