Harris Computer Software Developer reviews

-The company is run in a fairly 'by the numbers way', which can lead to too much focus on short term metrics and a degree of aversiveness to uncertainty. The latter itself is not a problem per se, except to the degree that it can make it difficult to try new things because one needs to convince people of the likelihood of a successful outcome ahead of time, which may stifle new ideas. - I get the impression that many of the business units are viewed as legacy cash cows whose existing customer base and revenue generation are prioritized over taking on newer initiatives (the company has a modus operandi of acquiring companies aggressively which can lead to a lack of incentive to innovate internally, but I suspect this varies by business unit).

The on-boarding process could be better streamlined with a set schedule or check list of what should be discussed, completed, or taken care of in the first week. My experience was people seemed a bit scattered and unsure of where to point me so I could get my questions answered (like taking care of my I-9 or how do I contact HR). The number of employee portals you have to use can be somewhat overwhelming and generally confusing. The Workday portal used for general on-boarding things (like setting up 401k) is somewhat unhelpful and could use a users guide or something.
