L-3 Communications Employer Reviews

The work is interesting. Managment is understanding and they take care of the employees.

very busy mfg organization, full service electronics mfg facility

Pleasant enviroment, friendly people. Good place to work.

A typical day at work was to reinvent the wheel, meetings all day long, action items from meetings, reports, metrics, answer same questions over and over across multiple departments. But not ever really doing work.

What I learned was that life is to short to stress myself to a heart attack. I learned that when management has pressure on them you will – more... be a sacrificial lamb.

Co-worker bees were fantastic great bunch of folks...because we were all we had!

Hardest part of the job was thinking you knew how to read your supervisor only to be yelled and swore at with HR (Hands Retracted) in the room.

Most enjoyable job was that knowing my part in getting the production floor what they needed I did do! – less

Level 3 is a company where short term fixes are applied to long term issues and problems. This results in a cowboy environment where employees are rewarded for applying band aids on top of the band aids applied by their predecessors. The only way Level 3 has been able to continue their focus on "low hanging fruit" is by never really picking the "low – more... hanging fruit." Low job security because of the political system by which rewards are given. Consistent negative cash flow during its entire history has resulted in the latest round of layoffs to move to a cash flow positive position. The root causes of the problems remain, the employees don't... – less

After coming off Active duty 27 Years. L3 offered me this position. Worked 3 Years and accepted an advancement as a Tier II Support Analyst with another company.

Enjoyed the work. Much the same as Northrop Grumman (same contract).

no work, managers suck, hardest part of job was not being board.

My days are never typical. I usually have several projects going on at once. People always coming to me asking me to help with something. I can be booking travel for our President, Executives or regular employees while at the same time be creating reports, tracking training records, answering questions, etc. I enjoy multi-tasking. I am looking for a – more... job where I can continue to learn new things. – less

It was a very exciting and fast paste environment. The management was always willing to help and answer questions. Everyone was a pleasure to work with.

they're good about making sure you as an employee knows what you must do everyday when you come in

Every day is a challenge in Self-sufficient work environment, where responsibility lies on you to find solutions to issues and meet deadlines for projects you are producing products for. The most enjoyable part of my job is extending my limitations to do something I thought I could not do and communicating with project engineers.

12 hr shifts, I got to work with and cross train with sheet metal and engine shops. I have several friends from this company. I enjoyed the cross training

The work I did while working for L-3 I felt was most rewarding, more so while deployed. I enjoyed the people I worked with as well as the task at hand. The feeling of a job well done once a mission was completed was more than satisfying. Going from military to contractor was a major switch but I was able to learn so much while working for L-3. My experience – more... and gained knowledge I believe will benefit me where ever I may go next. – less

I was given a lot of flexibility and responsibility at first but as the company grew larger, some of the managers wanted to micro manage. It is a politically correct environment. There are a lot of great employees. I felt like I could retire there, but they let 177 of us go in a RIF.

This company is very employee oriented when it comes to training and safety measures throughout the plant. There are very strict governmental requirements which are carried out with all safety features intact. All areas of your work is professionally inspected. The hardest part of the job was the travel each day from my house.

the people i worked with at L-3 were great teachers and wonderful people to work with.

Poor culture. Basic employment - No support for growth, training

Express is a staffing office. They are good placing you with the company

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.
