L3Harris Systems Engineer Reviews

Pros

Friendly environment, A lot of opportunities to grow, Decent pay

Cons

Hours aren’t as flexible s

Pros

- Ph.D. educational assistance of $35k per year - Graduate (Masters) educational assistance of $20k per year - 160 Hours of PTO, no questions asked; more can be granted with two levels of approval - Hybrid work - Remote work available depending on the program

Cons

- Limited growth opportunities - a 1-year commitment to apply for other internal roles - Technology varies depending on the program

Pros

This is my first job as an engineer after graduating college. The job is not very difficult and they are very patient with new hires. I can ask questions and people are happy to share their knowledge with me. There are also very good benefits.

Cons

There is not very good training material on how to do my job, so most of my learning is me having to ask other people which can make me feel like a bother to people who seem busy. I don't always feel very challenged at work and it can seem boring.

Pros

Employees are given a lot of flexibility with their work schedules. Most of the technology L3Harris develops is complex/interesting. Employees have lots of opportunity for internal job movement and are typically given a say in which projects and teams they work on.

Cons

Upward mobility / salary growth can be slow for experienced employees

Pros

The people are awesome to work with and I genuinely enjoy coming into work. The work is interesting, although can be slow from time to time. Lots of opportunities to try new things, move around, and build your resume.

Cons

Very difficult to move up the company latter. Internal salary bumps don’t match the market rate, so basically the longer you stay the further below the market average you become.

Pros

Decent pay, strong emphasis on learning, warm and tight-knit teams

Cons

highly dependent on what team you are placed in

Pros

Stuff is good here sometimes

Cons

Things can be bad sometimes

Pros

unlimited sick time and 3 weeks PTO

Cons

The company culture here is terrible. Young engineers are constantly mistreated and criticized. Older engineers and management have a hard time delegating work and the average raise is lower than at other Defense contractors. No annual bonus as well. There are barely any mid level engineers at this company. Most employees are either 55+ years old or they are college grads who stay with the company about 2 years and then leave. There is also not a lot of diversity in the workplace.

Pros

Vacation policy, supportive, direct mangers are excellent

Cons

Info flow down is sometimes poor.

Pros

All these are based on my division unless specified. - cares about employees - good work/life balance - excellent pto policy - plenty of employee events

Cons

-promotions/raises favor external applicants due to corporate raise policies even when changing positions (e.g. external candidate offered position at $90K, where internal transfer between departments may be soft capped at $80K if coming from a lower paying position). - merit/cost of living raise doesn't keep up with inflation - cost of training and lack of knowledge retention severely underestimated when considering employee turn-over. More likely to re-hire than fight to keep current workers. - it's software development, so group dynamics can be a bit strange sometimes (more "comes with the territory" than an org issue). - health insurance is all but useless
