L 3 Communications Work Values

Daily Duties at L 3 Communications:

As a Sr. Contract Negotiator at L-3, I was a principal contract negotiator for complex government, commercial, international and foreign military sales contracts. Accountable for the timely, accurate and complete preparation of proposals, non-disclosure agreements, proprietary information agreements, memorandum of understanding, teaming agreements, and associated contract documents required in response to new business pursuits and/or the expansion of current business. Conceive and develop solutions to contractual and programmatic problems through the application of professionally accepted and historically effective contract and business administration techniques, practices and procedures.

What they like about L 3 Communications:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
