I loved my job. It provided me with an above average salary and good working conditions. I enjoyed working in a clean room environment and was provided an opportunity for continual process improvement.

The company was a good place to work for.The employees all seemed to work together as a team to get the job done.

Great work environment. Family and work ethics are highly regarded. The company is well respected in the federal and defense career fields

I enjoyed working with cross functional teams and other departments to get the job done, benefiting the company as a whole as well as my own department. I worked with good people of all age groups and ethnicity.

I did a little of everything such as assisting QA and Engineering to make sure the department ran smoothly. Our management was generally supportive – more... and co-workers like family.

The best part of the job is that I did a little of everything and worked with other departments to get the job done. The worse part was that the documentation system was to complex. – less

I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 9 YEARS. IT WAS THE BEST PLACE TO WORK AT. THE PEOPLE WERE VERY HELPFUL AND KIND. I JUST THINK IT IS A SHAME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE CONTRACTS TO KEEP US ALL THERE. AS OF APRIL 5TH I WILL BE LAID OFF. I HAVE NO NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT ITT EXILIS. I ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT THAT I WAS THERE.

Business is closing, that says it all. Poor decisions were made, and we are all paying for it.

The company continues downsizing and shrinking the employees benefits.

Once logging on to my PC, I would prioritize workload and begin my day of Word Processing (no supervision). If one required assistance, I was there. I learned a lot in regards to work ethics, and that no job was too small. I stayed with the company for so long because the company was like a second family. One you could rely on.

A typical day of work started out by being on time, all of the time. I had to learn to follow a process that explained how each job was to be built to specs. I got along with all of my co-workers including all of my managers and supervisors.

I was part of an EDO acquisition and soon realized Exelis was set up to fail. This company is trying hard to find a buyer like LMCO or Northrup. The top 3 levels of management are complete clowns. Local mid-tier management wasn't much better. This company is run in Herndon,VA by HR, IT and security...not engineering (you know, people that actually make – more... the company money??!!) If you have other options, I would look at them. – less

Management is Stong Back Bone of the company.
All co-workers are friendly in field.
Off day is the hardest part of the job.
100% Work finished on time frame and without any discrepancies.

If you are looking for a to just get into the field it should be OK but most of the production workers do not have schooling and the pay is not great

Unfortunately, with the lost of a huge contract. The company was forced to downsize at the DC location where I am currently located.

A fine company to work for. I was subcontracted to BAE, the prime on a gov't contract. When funding cuts were required, I was the sacrificial lamb.

Prior military experience is a plus - you know what it is like to live in spartan conditions. Little or no privacy - community toilets and showers. Food at my location was mediocre at best. The occasional attack made things a little more interesting. Other than that a pretty standard sys admin job.

Chance for advancement if you want to work hard and willing to do what it takes.

they are not giving any raises this year and hinting at no raises next year either. Layoffs regularly every 6 months. Benefits being reduced every day. Divisions with work are miss managed and require working unpaid overtime. Cutting edge jobs such as anything with communicats have been lost to GD and Harris. Jobs that are left there are for leggacy – more... projects that uses 30 year technology using assymply. Managment is cluless and froze raises to keep the stock price up so they can exercise their options. Co workers are good but most of the good talent left the company so what you are left with are lazy dinosours. Hardest part of the job is the day they have layoffs you sit by your phone hopeing that HR does not call you. Moral is very bad espcially at the clifton building. – less

Right now everything is in trumoil, they have split the company from ITT and renamed the defense division Exelis. For the Geospatial systems division they have decided to restructure with a blueprint from a company call ProObis. This has only added to the management confusion and disarray. Because of this they have also decided to forgo raises for 2012. – more... There is also great concern by employees that work in plants other than in Rochester, NY that their jobs may be in jeopardy since most of the management is located in Rochester. – less
