L3Harris reviews

- Company just completely removed Hybrid and is forcing all employees back into the office. - Layoffs have occurred 4+ times in the past 2 years. This was unheard of and hadn't happened since 2008 when I started 5 years ago. - Work load is VERY up and down. Its feast or famine currently. When I started 5 years ago there was always consistent work on multiple programs. Now its one program or nothing and you are constantly stressed about what to work on next. This also creates more stress when layoffs continue to regularly occur. - 3% (maximum) yearly "merit" raises which don't account for inflation. Execs have been boasting about cost savings and YOY profit growth, but they don't share that success with the employees. - Constant turnover of upper management. This leads to inconsistent policies and visions that are constantly changing. - Lack of new opportunities. I've been asking for nearly 3 years for different opportunities in other groups, even a short-term loan opportunity to grow as an engineer. Every time it has been blown off.

Retired military leaders make a "good 'ole boys club," a political fraternity in corporate decision-making. Merit increases (raises) in 2022 do not keep up with inflation and are not an accurate representation of performance; i.e. "you get what you get." Sign-on bonuses and higher salaries are offered to new employees with little being done to retain those with 3+ years experience. There is a company-wide focus on the "bottom line," with pressure compounding down to the individual employees. With limited "merit" increases, employees are required to work even harder, often on overtime in manufacturing and engineering, to keep up with corporate's goals. Bonuses for special projects and extra effort seem to be a thing from the past; these used to supplement employee salaries and encourage added efforts. New management lacks proper training and mentorship.
