Pros

A decent financial offering at time of hire, although details were not forthright without probing; 2015 excellent hiring process- warm, inviting, presented family work environment which presented a word of caution yet leadership appeared sincere. Assisted in recruiting other talent due to positive culture presented.

Cons

Within 6 weeks of starting, it became aware that the company was in need of unifying a work culture; desperately need a baseline visionary strategy and must respect the expensive talent recruited who are in quick need of looking elsewhere. This feels like a business crisis. Reading previous comments about favoritism of staff is a very lenient statement. Abuses abound with the legacy staff ( 10 years or longer) and the heart-line staff ( closer to 5 to 7 years) with the bulk of the newer hires ( last 18 months), left trying to move the company and their team mates forward. It is also rumored that the leadership ( 1 to 2 persons) are so aware of employee discontent, that requests have been made of staff to post positive comments on Glassdoor to counteract negative remarks. This is childish, almost paranoid, unethical behavior. Beyond these issues, it is paralyzing the company causing the client base to take notice.

Pros

Good work life balance It's a known commodity You can advance or change business units across Harris (if you drink the cool-aide and end up in the right 9-box)

Cons

People are just expendable resources and moves are made based on metrics and cost analysis - very robotic Stagnating product, tech stack - not much progress nor innovation You probably won't be challenged to develop or grow. That's good if you're lazy, but bad if you ever find yourself looking for a new job. Advanced degrees are not subsidized It's all about squeezing money out of existing business for as long as they can while minimizing costs. You can essentially forget about anything except modest (1-3%) pay increases, even for exceptional performers. They fall further behind and have essentially missed the AI boat. Little vision or creative leadership... has been a revolving door for 5 years (5 different CEO/EVPs in 4 years)
