Typical unorganized government monster

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Higher Pay for Engineers, decent benefits

Cons

Poor communication; poor internal technology and tech support even though they are a tech and communications company; no bonuses except for those at executive level; difficult to promote from lower levels without knowing someone or brown-nosing higher ups; no appreciation for quality work; every location is completely different than the next in the way that the same department at one facility uses one system where the exact same department at another location uses a completely different one. It is nearly impossible to get anything done this way because the computer systems do not ever "talk" to each other effectively.

Business Outlook

Pros

Most programs require new design of at least small pieces. Safety in numbers. Big government contractor mostly immune to economic downturns.

Cons

Benefits were severely degraded as part of the merger. The "unlimited" time off policy means you get 160 hours/year of vacation time. However, that doesn't carry over year to year and it doesn't get banked so you won't be paid out if you leave the company. Dental and vision max out of pocket is almost the same as your premium and covered expenses are cleanings and one pair of glasses every two years. Health insurance premiums doubled with no increase in coverage. Holidays were reduced by 25%. Big government contractor means bloated workforce with10% of the people doing 90% of the work.

Thank you for your years of service as part of the L3Harris family. Our discretionary PTO provides flexibility for those hoping to balance work and life. This allows for a more inclusive benefit to those who require time off for family and important life events. Additionally, while others in our industry have moved toward only providing high deductible health plans, we continue to offer a traditional PPO medical plan option for employees who prefer predictable out-of-pocket costs for PCP, specialist, urgent and emergent care. We're glad you mentioned listening to our employees because we've launched our employee engagement survey and will use this employee feedback to help shape the future of L3Harris. We hope you will participate so we can continuously improve.
