Pros

Originally a great place to grow a career, the new leadership now lacks the capabilities to drive results, especially in the front-line (jails + police) group.

Cons

The current front-line leadership seems like imitations of the former Harris CEO. They can parrot, but not apply the basics of critical thinking. The leadership does not communicate. They will make bad decisions that impact the top and bottom line because they want to " make sure we look good in the market." It's all impression management, but not much business sense is applied. The goal is to preserve EBITA, yet the group leader will sacrifice it to force his local agenda / views onto a global business unit. The business unit is now forced to let go of high-value team members so that the group leader can have a more "on-shore" presence in America when the business is operated out of Canada, Australia, and the UK. The group leader actively sabotages EBITA and financial performance to impose a nationalist and imperialistic stance. It feels psychologically unsafe to work here. As a shareholder, I am deeply concerned that the integrity of shareholder returns is being diluted to uphold

Harris Computer Response

At Harris we are dedicated to creating a culture of respect for our employees. We are also diligent at operation excellence. I am personally reviewing the people and financial data for Frontline based on this feedback. As an EVP (current or past) you have direct access to me or other HR leaders (if you don't know what email to use, please direct your request to weareharris@harriscomputer.com and an HR leader will respond). We are all very open to having a conversation to discuss specifics to understand how we can better support our employees in Frontline and across all of our Harris business units.

Pros

Great company to work for, though they are all about the next thing to acquire.

Cons

401K plan is a 'maybe we will match' type thing. Could be much better.

Pros

It (mostly) pays the bills. Your day to day experience will depend entirely on the business unit you are in and your localized management.

Cons

Compensation is low. Their business model is just continuously acquiring established software companies, gutting them, and rebuilding them according to their model. Standard corporate experience. They will pay you as little as possible to retain you, and do things like changing the structure of HSA contributions to save a buck.
