Pros

Fellow employees are good people. I would share a beer with any of them. It's a good place to learn and use as a stepping stone but don't plan on it being your career.

Cons

This company has gone too far in the reduction of benefits, reduction of raises, reduction of promotions. Management claims they are keeping in line with competitive companies. Exelis has a proven history of not being true to their word. Changing policies on a dime. In almost one breathe touting the slogan "One ITT", to a three way company split. In less than one breath telling employees to plan better for their retirement only to phase out the new pension plan immediately after. Time and time again pulling the rug out from under. It's like trying to follow a moth around a lamp post at night. People are finally fed up with management and starting to leave.

Pros

By for the best reason to work at Exelis is the work/life balance. There is a very laid back culture here where as long as you get your work done on time, you can get away with almost anything. Personally I work a very variable work schedule because it is convenient for me and my management doesn't have any problems with it as long as I do my 40 hrs a week and get my work done.

Cons

Outside of the better than average work/life balance everything else is pretty much sub-par. Employees are not compensated well. Promotions are not given without a fight and even when promoted most people receive a title bump without a salary increase. The profit sharing bonus we have been receiving for the past few years has ranged from 0.03-0.05% which is nothing compared to the profit this company makes. There are opportunities for good and interesting work here but, most times you have to be lucky/connected enough to get assigned to the groups that get the work.
