Pros

Decent benefits, although at or lower than the industry average.

Cons

As a former employee, I find it imperative to share my experiences, highlighting the significant managerial failings and unethical work practices that plagued my tenure there. This review aims not to disparage but to inform potential employees and stakeholders of the deep-rooted issues within the company. 1. Disparity in Work Arrangements: One of the most glaring issues was the stark contrast in work arrangements between management and the rest of the staff. While the managerial team enjoyed the flexibility of a hybrid schedule, the rest of the employees were mandated to work exclusively from the office. This double standard not only fostered a sense of inequality but also a disconnect between the leadership and their teams. 2. Lack of Accountability in Leadership: A persistent problem in the organization was the absence of accountability among the managerial ranks. Mistakes and setbacks, rather than being taken as opportunities for learning and growth, were consistently deflected onto subordinates. This culture of blame-shifting not only eroded trust but also stifled the professional development of many capable employees. 3. Unrealistic Project Budgeting and Overworking of Engineers: Perhaps the most concerning issue was the approach to project budgeting. Projects were routinely under-budgeted, based on unattainably low metrics to secure contracts. This practice led to engineers being burdened with unrealistic workloads, often requiring extended hours without additional compensation. Such practices not only raise ethical concerns but also hint at a profound disrespect for work-life balance and employee well-being. 4. Conclusion: In conclusion, while L3Harris may present opportunities in terms of projects and industry exposure, the underlying issues related to management ethics, work-life balance, and employee treatment are too significant to overlook. I urge the company to introspect and reform these practices for the betterment of its employees and its future.

Pros

Bi-weekly pay and other "benefits".

Cons

Employees are pitted against one another for advancement in an unhealthy manner. Management is told to provide feedback and opportunities for employees, but with little to no compliance. Employee engagement is a joke. Instead of listening to the issues the employees have, they are placated with pizza parties or hamburger socials. There has been NO cost-of-living increase in pay, and they are trying to cut overtime hours. All complaints sent to HR result in useless surveys where the group circles how they feel their management team is doing. The environment is toxic and retalitory.

Pros

Its stable employment with a 6% 401K match, which is rare from the jobs I've had. There are endless opportunities to learn and grow if you out the effort in.

Cons

If you're not a technology junky, it can become very uninspiring work that begins to wear you out after a few years. You'll be around alot of people who are either ambitious, or obsessive about their craft because they love understanding technology. For others who see L3Harris as a job and not a career, that can create a deflating environment to be in. Pay sucks, everyone knows it. There are floods of people leaving the company all the time for better pay at other jobs. Then they hire newer, younger, less qualified people for more money than the people who've been there a while. Then the old guard crowd gets pissed and either demands raise or leaves. That cycle has played out numerous times. The silver lining is they eventually cave and give pay increases when this happens to make sure the machine keeps running.
