Pros

Flexible work hours, remote work possible, Okay benefits, stable company

Cons

- Salaries about 25% below market average. - Don't ever expect anything more than cost of living raises, even in the case of a "promotion" - Impossible to attain objectives. Compensation & commissions contract basically rigged to never meet objectives and always pay the bare minimum, and with caps to make sure large lucrative sales don't pay too much commission. Use of dishonest tactics to rig the odds - VP's and EVP's ruling with an iron fist, not listening to the individual B.U's recommendations and visions from experienced employees to the detriment of morale - Company culture's extreme overuse of corporate buzzwords and platitudes I.E: "I want solutions, not problems" when voicing concerns or "hollistically leverage our synergies to maximize corporate brand trajectory" - Advancements & promotions given based on diversity quotas and personal relationship with VP's or EVP's rather than merit or competency. It's a management carousel with constant restructuring and very high turnover. - Zero re-investment in the individual B.U's is a challenge: all the profits go up to Harris buy new businesses, so growth is severely compromised: can't hire staff even if desperately needed, and all that counts is "milking the B.U's for all their worth".

Pros

Great company to work for, though they are all about the next thing to acquire.

Cons

401K plan is a 'maybe we will match' type thing. Could be much better.

Pros

It (mostly) pays the bills. Your day to day experience will depend entirely on the business unit you are in and your localized management.

Cons

Compensation is low. Their business model is just continuously acquiring established software companies, gutting them, and rebuilding them according to their model. Standard corporate experience. They will pay you as little as possible to retain you, and do things like changing the structure of HSA contributions to save a buck.
