Pros

* Hard to get fired. Layoffs are very rare. Job security is very high. * Same standard benefits between new and old employees. Great for new hires, level ones, and new grads. * New grads earn 2 raises per year for the first three years. * 9/80 and 4/10 schedules offered. * Flexible schedules for salary employees. * Payed overtime for salary employees (if over 5 additional hours worked and overtime is approved). * Ample volunteering opportunities. * Training and certification opportunities for highly valued industry skills.

Cons

* Equipment acquisition is either slow or non-existent. * Management does not value work/life balance. * Raises are meager and barely keep up with inflation, even in the top bracket. * Days missed due to natural disaster are 'made up,' meaning that the employee must work the missed hours for free during the subsequent weekends. * PRP and holiday bonuses not offered. * High turn over rate. * Meeting schedule/budget is valued over quality of work. * Messy merger resulted in loss of ~2 weeks PTO for legacy Harris employees. Some lost more. Some lost less. * Low general morale of employees. * Level 1's are expected to act with level 3 integrity at a lower salary margin. * Little to no meaningful on-boarding training.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. While we are glad to see that you view our company as a great place to work for early in career individuals, we want to make sure employees at all levels of experience find value in their tenure here. We understand that the merger is bringing about changes but we are working hard to ensure that the best practices from each legacy company are brought forward. We hope you'll continue to stick with us! Please don't hesitate to reach out to your manager or HR Business Partner to talk through any concerns you may have.

Pros

your pros are based predominantly on your manager. if they see value in you, you get trained in more stuff and MAYBE it leads to something more than a comfortable work space. and depending on what program you work you might like what you do.

Cons

There is always a probability your raise will be laughable. 3% is the max for the year. Company values new people more than veterans so your raise will never reach what new people get walking in with less experience. if your lead doesn't like you or see your value they won't let you grow. most managers will laugh at any ideas for improvment (not all) even if everyone else agrees. no bonuses most managers don't want to see you develop. when they are busy you will work as long as they can but when they are slow they barely offer training or cross training. traing courses expect you already have done the task they just certify you for it here. vs actual training course. in some spaces very toxic workspace emotionally (specifically when work load is weak)

Not good.

Pros

Some legacy employees remain since the merger but few are left. They will assist you best. The new leadership will not.

Cons

Following the acquisition of Exelis by Harris, and the subsequent merger with L3 Technologies, the new leadership is ill-equipped to administer a business they clearly know nothing about. Employees who ask questions or disagree with process changes are ostracized and often fired, leaving the only option left: Let it fail, which it has. Promotions and new hires are based on identity and not qualifications. New hires are often paid more than those tasked with training them. This is not a good company to make long term career plans.
