Pros

Good benefits. Overtime pay available. Fairly flexible work schedule available as long as deadlines are met. Work with cool technology on cool projects.

Cons

Middle management sets secret deadlines on corporate assigned training and penalizes employees for not meeting said deadlines. Project managers frequently butt heads over available manpower. IT department slow to the point of uselessness.

L3Harris Response

Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you are enjoying our technology and benefits. Each quarter we launch training across the enterprise and assign clear deadlines through our online learning management system (LMS). 100% completion of required compliance training by the end of each quarter is a standard performance goal for all of our employees. As such, L3Harris business leaders and managers may set more aggressive completion targets than the dates reflected in the LMS to ensure that their employees are complete on-time. For any questions or suggestions you may have we encourage you to speak to your HR Business Partner.

Pros

Missions are impactful to the world Top talent in specialized fields Wonderful people Respectful environment

Cons

Processes and policies are not robust enough to support the large growth / merger, which leaves everyone operating in silos and interpreting things in their own ways Shared service model is not structured properly Not enough critical thinking around how budgets should be allocated for tools, capital, and salaries Higher level leaders are too in the weeds and not working on the harder strategic aspects Businesses are not aligned with common products to gain best synergies as all businesses fight to defend $s not what actually makes sense for the company (radios sharing same suppliers are in completely different segments; CCAs are built across 10+ different factories managed by different management teams instead of a couple of large COEs) All leaders felt unempowered due to lack of ownership of budgets. Budgets were set but then adjusted at further levels without any additional discussion of new targets and how to achieve. Then budgets would be reallocated a few months into year if you weren't demonstrating that you truly need it. This drove teams to spend heavy up front and not make the smartest decisions at times
