Pros

Was a good place to work. But with so few programs and the same managers in place no good ideas. Great if you are in the good old boy network.

Cons

Terrible place for females. And as they say, the it's who you know not what you know. The employee engagement is a farce. Management even said, if you don't want to see this next year, rate every category a 5. Mgmt created a bonus system such that they will now get 90% off the annual bonuses.

Pros

Some very nice people to work with.

Cons

Too many layoffs in the past seven years. High paid old Litton employees holding positions that require college degrees, but old Litton employees have no degree at all. Very poor management and too top heavy. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Diversity is making the company work quality and efficiency weak. Company is overwhelmed with meetings. No company stability. No new business in Apopka, FL. Would not recommend.

Pros

Big company with a lot of opportunities to move around. You can get experience in many different functional areas without leaving the company. Great resume building company. Respectable name with the opportunity to learn several different skill sets in a short time.

Cons

ALL about hiring to increase "diversity"... Regardless of if the individual is qualified or a good fit for the job or not. This may be true in every Company this size right now, but benefits have taken a major hit across the board the past few years. Health Insurance is getting extremely expensive with less coverage. Hard to get materials you need to do the job. Lots of red tape and executive management approvals for even smaller cost items like computer monitors or projectors. Runs a matrix management type organization, so functional groups create and implement processes and procedures to allow their matrices to look good without considering what it does to other stakeholders in the organization. (Puts a bandaid on a problem rather than finding the root cause).
