Results-driven Organization

Pros

Great org for those seeking autonomy and accountability. There is every opportunity here to make a big difference. It has the feel of working in a small-medium sized business with the benefits of belonging to a larger company. Your good ideas are often translated into tangible results. It is fast-paced, fair, and challenging. Business units are run like small, autonomous companies with access to help and mentorship across the larger organization.

Cons

Continual improvement and discipline are key to success at Harris, so there is no coasting or hiding here. Results are expected and you will be held accountable.

Accountability/Responsibility/Ownership is one of our core values. Great to see that you have experienced that in our culture. We also agree with the focus on drive for results. At Harris we work hard (but we also play hard). Thank you for the feedback!

Pros

There are no Pro's working at the Cayenta Division of Harris Computer. Stay well clear of this company. Don't waste your time. However long you intend to be with the Cayenta Division, you won't get that life back, EVER!

Cons

Very bad company to work for in every area that I can think of. Long hours. Poor Management. No Leadership. Low Morale. Zero Future. Cayenta has been sold 3 times in the past 15 years. Titan Corporation had to sell Cayenta because they were losing money hand over fist. Turnover is huge, prime indicator of bad employer.

Boys club company that underpays and overworks

Pros

It is a job. You will have something to put on your resume in the future. If you are blessed to be in a good department they will give a nice bonus at the end of each year.

Cons

Boys club completely run by office politics. If you are not buddy buddy with management they will either boot you out or keep you low on the totem pole. It is very easy to work yourself out of a job. Multiple times I have been informed in my department to slow down and take more breaks as it makes others look bad. Unpaid overtime. You are expected to work long days and weekends without any extra pay. This is normally fine but they abuse it. At the end of the month you will notice that pay vs time worked usually equals bellow minimum wage. Lies and cover ups. If a manager makes a mistake or someone they deem of value screws up. Expect the blame to be shifted. No direction on work. You are expected to come in knowing everything and figure stuff out on your own. I had to lean on my co workers for weeks just to get used to the software and figure out how to resolve things before I could ever hope to help others. I.T.... All of the good IT members of this company either left or were fired. We used to have computers made for us in the matter of a day or 2. Now it is months. Months for them to put windows on a computer..... Half the time IT do not even talk to you. They just close your ticket and expect you to know what is going on. There also is no backup server. For YEARS I have put in requests to have files restored.. For years I have been told no.. We have a backup server but it doesnt work? Has it ever worked? What is going on in the Ottawa office. It doesnt even have an IT member anymore. Half the IT do not even have schooling or education in the field. It blows my mind.
