L3Harris reviews

1. Mandatory return to office mandate. Remote work of any sort must now be approved by senior management and will be rare going forward. They give the typical nonsense excuses about lack of mentorship and face-to-face interaction. 2. DEI is pushed all through the company. It's all over the internal website. 3. Clueless upper management. 4. Got rid of our old health insurance and now we're paying way more. Our measly 3% raises don't even cover the increase in insurance costs. 5. Extremely disorganized corporate IT department that was just recently outsourced to Accenture. 6. Clear lies about salary and layoffs. In the same month they bragged how revenue is up 17% YoY and yet laid people off - and our pay raises have been only 2-3% through all the inflation. In terms of real value, I'm being paid about 7% less than I was when I started working here. 7. Complete promotion freeze. There are several employees long overdue for promotions in my department. I'm one of them. But some upper manager several levels above my direct supervisor has put a complete freeze on promotions. 8. Stagnant hierarchy. It's great if you've been there 20 years, but it's really hard to move up or get noticed if you haven't. 9. Recent layoffs. Everyone is currently fretting over their job security.

Upper level management has not done a good job at maintaining the various business units that became L3Harris as part of the L3/Harris merger. When we were acquired we were told that working for a big company would provide more opportunities, however over the past few years a once thriving business has eroded under L3Harris management. Bidding new jobs became a difficult and frustrating process. Getting new equipment like laptops became nearly impossible. Highly efficient cross functional teams were "functionalized" and reorganized based on engineering disciplines. This reorg meant that even members of the same contract and team now had many different managers located across the country. Getting licenses for standard engineering tools became a months long ordeal. It has become harder and harder to get work done. Many of us feel as though we spend nearly half of our time just dealing with "L3Harris problems" instead of getting real work done. I think your experience will greatly depend on what division and group you end up in, but there are more bad places to end up than good ones.
