Pros

The business unit I belong to is great! I enjoy working with the people in our office more than i would enjoy a conglomerate. Please do not change that. Training is good. I find that it is always challenging training a highly configurable product.

Cons

Harris is an investment company first and foremost. From what I can tell, investing is at the core of its identity. That is not a con per se. But paying 401k in lump sum per year is, as that is one of the most prominent investment instruments of employees. Think of all the lost dividends and reinvestment opportunity! I can't substantiate this with data, but it seems a little slow to deposit my 401k withholding as well. (Someone else might be getting some of my dividends?) Salary is below our local market. In fairness, it is close enough to factor in the other positives as making it worthwhile. Bonus is touted, but not worth deciding to stay or go over.

Pros

Trying to come up with some pros, the company I work for was acquired by Harris years ago. Good vacation time accrued, but is countered by the overtime expectation, below industry pay increases.

Cons

P.C.'s you get for work are slow with not enough hard drive and take months to get, VP of my division doesn't even know what our software does. Salary increases are incredibly low, the bonus they give year fluctuates in amount and neither the raises and bonus covers the amount of overtime you are expected to work. You only get a good performance review if you have worked a lot of unpaid overtime. When staff leaves they do not fill position,leaving others to do more work without compensation. Many, many people at or above management level compared to actual workers. No work/Life balance, they expect you to be available 24\7 and don't compensate you for it. They want you to do their work outside of business hours. People will back stab you to advance themselves. They think salaried employee means that you should work 24\7. No training, you are expected to just figure things out. I can't tell you how many times I've made plans for after work only to have to change my plans last minute because of some kind of emergency. I've had to stop making plans and commitments. Even getting to their out of town Holiday Party and back requires you to put in major overtime hours and cost you money out of your own pocket. But they consider that a "Perk".
