- 1.0Nov 29, 2023Lead Program ManagerFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsLafayette, LA
Pros
Decent pay and work life balance
Cons
Hi stress. Managers several layers up are not afraid to make decisions about program execution because they tend to leave their role in less than two years. Their decisions are uniformed and they think they are better than those executing leading to unmanageable program level impacts. L3H will be fine for a bit because it is so big but they are hiding a lot of financial issues driven by poor leadership.

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.

- 5.0Nov 27, 2023Mechanical EngineerFormer EmployeeSalt Lake City, UT
Pros
All of the engineers are very smart, and you will be able to learn a lot from them. The first few years, they promote quickly out of college, and that is great. Paternity leave is also good. Some management is also great.
Cons
I would say the work is very project-dependent, and on some work, you have good teams, and on others, you can have bad teams. Most of the engineers are painfully introverted, but great at their job.
