Pros

Harris just buys companies and then lets them carry on as they were, so Harris is kind of a misnomer. In this case it was i2 - a great little company before a layer of career managers got hired to erode the place away. Harris has "values" like respect that they are very passionate about when it suits them. They actually seem to believe them (until they want to get rid of you)

Cons

They only let you have 10 days off ill per year with pay At i2 the code as utterly absymal, causing them to make lots of redundancies in order to reduce costs. But this is just a sticking plaster... They harp on about the Harris values endlessley, then of course just ignore them when they want to can you

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.
