L3 has it all covered. Healthcare benefits are good, competitive starting pay, nice facilities, and reasonable hours.

I believe that culture is an important part of any company, and deserves your attention.

Pros

Employees are great and family atmosphere despite management.

Cons

No retention plan , people at the Menlo Park facility are fed up with Harris’s plan of reducing and getting rid of benefits and increasing health premiums by 4~5 % and pay increases of 2 -1/2 % , we’ve lost money for 3 years now , Cigna insurance has physicians no longer accepting the insurance, I’ve had to change primary care physician twice , we like Kaiser here in California. Petty , such as , every year at thanksgiving we have received a 50$ Safeway card , that’s gone too . Orientation and training here is almost non existent and corporate IT is a nightmare, 3 weeks to onboard an employee, ridiculous.

Advice to Management

My advice is to go back to school to learn to be leaders not managers

Pros

Good benefits, unlimited discretionary PTO policy, flex schedule, great job security. Great place to gain experience.

Cons

Unit directors have too much say in certain aspects. They are free to make decisions on PTO usage above 160 hours, work from home schedule, possibility of 9/80 work schedule, etc . Depending on which director you end up working for, the experience is either great or completely disappointing. If you end up on a team you don't like early on, make an active effort to move around or get stuck in the career trap. Location is pretty bad in my opinion, but that really comes down to how social you want to be outside of work. There is a low retention rate for the problems mentioned above amongst others.

Advice to Management

Make an effort to get real, meaningful input from employees that are not in a managerial role. There are plenty of issues that are not being addressed or even noticed. Consider gauging the likeability of different unit directors amongst their peers and take action to solve the problems you discover.

Pros

Been working here as an intern and have no complaints. I've been remote since July 2020 and haven't needed to come into the office much. The pay is very competitive and the benefits are top notch. Would definitely recommend working here.

Cons

Defense industry moves fairly slowly and doesn't work on the latest and greatest.

Pros

Relaxed and fun work environment. Great benefits and perks as well as the ability to choose from MANY different career paths.

Cons

I honestly had no issues the entire time I was employed by L3Harris.
