How to get a job at L-3 Communications.

Do you work at L-3 Communications? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview?

Any advice for someone trying to get in?

How do you get your foot in the door at L-3....any suggestions?

I have over 10 years in the military ....and I am now working for a Government Contractor. Have secret clearance and top secret paperwork is being processed.

Thanks,

I interviewed at L3. Their work day is 8AM to 6PM and all of the software developers are stuffed into a windowless room built inside of a factory. Inside this big room are a bunch of small cubicles. They took 2 hours of my life to interview me - which I think went well. Despite my having over 5 years of experience I was later told by HR that I was "under qualified".

I worked for a division in the Philly burbs. My in was the fact that the headhunter who got me the interview was the son of the HR manager.

Show off.

I have a relative working for L-3. They interviewed for position in January and was called to work in May, but the employer understood they had taken a long time and gave this person enough time to turn in significant resignation notice. They informed said person that salary and benefits would be pleasing and they'd receive a package over next few days with that information and acceptance letter. To also remember that benefits were paid at 100%. Well, had the insurance premiums been realistic - the pay would be excellent; however for this person and their family to have the cheapest insurance package available -- its over $923.00 a month in premiums PLUS copays and deductibles! So, the pay went from $23 to $17 an hour after compensating for benefits.....Dress code is business casual. They have three shifts that are all rotation. You work for 4 months on one shift then change, etc. You get one 30 min break to eat. No cafeteria. You can't take any time off from work the first year either -- if you can afford to take time off without pay you don't need the job is their philosophy. Hope that helps!

P.S.....in addition, you must have a clear background, no criminal charges, pass urine and blood tests (be drug free including prescriptions) and be able to obtain a federal security clearance. They also hire ex-military before straight civs.
