Pros

I have worked 20+ years in private and public companies of many different sizes and industries. HarrisX is the only company that goes beyond "COLA" raises and actively mentors, trains and invests in employees. The most valuable way is from day 1 even the most junior employees are supported, trained and encourage to speak directly to C-level executives, board members, clients and vendors. I have never worked in a company that offers employees the level of "front-facing" experience from the get-go. This is supplemental by customized training (external and internal) and a highly collaborative and collegial atmosphere. In addition to working with exciting clients and cutting edge subject matter, it is a primary reason I have stayed!

Cons

HarrisX's "DRI / Directly Responsible Individual" model may not be for everyone - but it is a superb learning experience and employees who do stay rapidly advance professionally and also gain unmatched interpersonal, professional and technical skills. HX teams, and even former employees, are typically described as "punching above their weight" whether they stay or leave

Pros

HarrisX works with a variety of clients across multiple industries, which means there is no shortage of interesting work. Being a smaller company, everything you do is very important. There are not a dozen layers of redundancy between your work and the final product. You will sink or swim on your own merits. While that can sound scary, the team is full of incredible people who are there to help you learn and grow. Everyone here is hardworking, exceptionally talented, and always willing to share what they know. Even the executive team is aware of the technical side of the workflow, and they will acknowledge your efforts when you do a good job.

Cons

Certain periods can get overwhelmingly busy. Juggling multiple clients and projects is standard, and sometimes a lot of deadlines line up all at once. No one will be watching over your shoulder to make you work extra hours, but at the end of the day you are responsible for making sure the work gets done. Pay could also be better, considering the amount of responsibility the average employee has. Being a smaller company, there is no standardized system of pay increases or bonuses, meaning you need to take the time to make the case yourself.
