L-3 Communications Employer Reviews

A typical day at work is quite pleasant. A great bunch of co-workers, who are very knowledgeable.
The most enjoyable part of working at L-3, is actually two things. One of them being, the people that I work with. The other, would have to be the travel.
The hardest part of the job, I would have to say is doing the job aboard an aircraft carrier.

Each day required the ability to adapt to any type of work. Assist with inventory, procurement, and Request for proposals.

Typical day-building walk through
Conduct training
Review update Policy and Procedure
Review Regulations and building codes
Coordinate/assist other departments with projects

Great company to work for. Always something new to learn. Diverse group of people to work with.

Work varies from slow to busy
Excellent Cooperation between Mid Managers
Good Team approach to programs
Good funding to get what you need to get the job done

Too much Corporate Overhead and "Empires" . I don't think they bring in enough compared to their pay and the cost of direct reports.

The job for the day is to stay with in the operations objectives and keep under costs. The people you work with are over all good in general. The management needs work, but the job is always in turmoil. Do to the company does not talk to the government, to keep jobs available on site. Better management, better communication, better money management, – more... can make a big difference. Company is all about how it can make money off the cost of the contracted employees, instead of the contract. Key, never under bid yourself, unless you do not plan to make money. Plan your objective and stay on contract. – less

I worked at L3 Communications for almost three years as a Production Planner and it was a great place to work. I did learn about Production Planning and would also like to work in that field again. My leaders were very encouraging and warm hearted folks. I had excellent co-workers and peers.

I LOVE WORKING WITH PEOPLE , TEACHING AND LEANING AT THE SAME TIME. ALL THESE YEARS WORKING ON AIRCRAFT I ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE THE END PRODUCT. THE HARDEST PART IS THE PAPER WORKAT THE END.

L-3 gave me opportunities to learn many different aspects of government contracting from accounting, supply chain management, asset management, integration, staffing to Project management. It is a good company with good benefits.

Great/Excellent Company to be a part of. Nothing at all boring about a typical day at work in Afghanistan and each hour of the 12 hour work shift was a challenge. Co-workers were a great bunch of guys and gals.

Decent company for the most part. Issues w/ pay and certain incentives for qualifications that took a while to get ironed out. I can't say I have any other issues aside from not having a website to check pay, benefits like my previous employer.

Able to balance between Work and Life
Worked with several attorneys, scheduled training and travel.
Managers are amazing there and I worked with some great people.

Good old boy network, you have to be one to fit in. Work ethics are one sided.

Level 3 is a great place to to work for me because of the great people I work with and the wonderful location in Broomfield, CO. In a nutshell, my team (MyLevel3 Portal Support) is a trouble shooting team. We communicate with our customers, via several different methods, research the issues presented to us, and resolve them. Our greatest responsibility – more... is to make certain the customer knows that we will handle their problem and not simply had them off to another person. In the event that we cannot assist (for example, if a customer has an issue with their contract, which has to be resolved by their account team) we will make it very clear that we will be contacting their account team and once the account team is brought up to speed hand the customer off to the proper people. Also, we will make it clear to the customer that if they do not receive the resolution they need, to come back to us and we will continue to research the issue. – less

Much is expected, internal customer is always right, therefore, management provided very little support and direction. Working with the loyal and dependable suppliers was most enjoyable part of job.

I do Proposals for the company to the Government, I have learned how to proposal a deal that is in the best interest of the company, my coworkers are the best to work with, I enjoy my job and the hardest part of my job is getting over run with work authorizations.

the ability to flex your weekly hours is a huge bonus, however the lack of sick time seperate from vacationtime is a big negative. management is very supportive and allows employees the ability to develope programs without being micromanaged.

A company that has been in the Aircraft business for 60 years keeping our Air Force equipped with the latest in aircraft technology.

Much older workforce with the mentality of "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

Inability to provide useful tools to perform our jobs.

Had a chance to learn many new jobs. worked from building and assembling to shipping. The people there generally seem to care and look out for each other.
