After the merger with Harris, the L3 engineering salary scales dropped considerably and employee benefits were slashed. The divisional leadership is as good as ever, but the changes being forced by corporate are starting to destroy morale at the divisional level. Higher-level engineers are being coerced into retirement in favor of younger, cheaper engineers. I predict recruiting decent engineers will be challenging with the new lower pay scales, and that employees who do not have strong ties to Salt Lake/Utah will continue to leave the company.
