Reviews about "harris"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great work culture. We act sometimes like a small company, but also have formal processes like a big company. Merger between L3/Harris is still playing out, but all signs point to success.
Cons
We run lean - sometimes bottlenecks happen when a lot is going on. People tend to drive themselves to overwork, as opposed to management forcing overtime.
Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear you are having a positive employee experience. We are always looking for ways to continuously improve, so we encourage you to share your ideas with your manager or HR Business partner to help reduce the bottlenecks you have identified.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Pay is decent and PTO is good for early career employees. As with most defense contractors the work life balance is great.
Cons
PTO is below average if you are a senior employee since everyone gets the same amount. In my department the "mechanical" work is 99% drafting with no actual analysis. I joined during the merger with Harris and it's been an absolute mess. The onboarding process here is worse than anywhere else I've worked, it took me months to get my required software. They don't use chip badges so you need software tokens for encryption and teleworking which is unnecessarily convoluted and annoying. Laptops are not standard either so teleworking is a remote desktop, again, convoluted and annoying. The drawing practice at my division lacks organization and leaves people asking the engineers where to find drawings when that should be easily available from other drawings. People at my division loudly shout their conservative conspiracy theories as well. I've worked with people with their beliefs before but the culture here alloys them to loudly shout their beliefs which can be very distracting. They also just sold off 10% of the company after the merger.

- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Paid overtime, at least for now.
Cons
Harris takeover has been obnoxious. Constantly attempting to slash employee benefits and compensation in favor of profit. Program management is getting to be completely incompetent. We have to work more and more with people who favor schedule over quality. The long term relationships we’ve built with many customers has really faltered. Upper management appears clueless. We’ve been told on many occasions that our new contracts would be won without issue only to have them put on stop over and over. Understaffing issues seem to be ignored by higher ups.

Pros
Interesting work, great products, top notch people, organized and focused approach to growing the financial portion of the company after the L3 and Harris merger. Management communications has improved greatly. Company stock performance has been outstanding over the years. Military business performing well. Company is well respected for best of class products.
Cons
Commercial aviation portion of business recovering from COVID slowdown. Needs to be more proactive in their commercial IRAD investments so they are market makers, not playing catching up.

Pros
L3Harris really does care about their employees which makes it a great place to work. The compensation is fair, and they pay overtime, which is especially nice around the holidays. I also really like working 4x10s and the flexibility that comes with having most Friday's off depending on workload. The benefits are a great value also, having better coverage and costing less than most companies I've worked for. The work itself is enjoyable, and rewarding. I especially like knowing that I'm supporting our military and enabling Government.
Cons
L3Harris is going through some growing pains resultant from the merger between L3 Communications and Harris, but this has been handled well, minimizing impact to (even new) employees. They are working to combine the best aspects of both organizations (tools, practices, etc.). While communication was somewhat lacking early on, they've gotten much better about sharing their vision and direction to employees, which has already made big impact. No complaints otherwise.

Thanks for your review. We're happy you are enjoying the total rewards and compensation package, as well as the work your team is doing to support our customers. Thank you for your feedback; we appreciate the contributions you make to ensure the continued development of our culture of inclusion!
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Very nice people here! At least in the mechanical department there are many helpful people who are willing to take on early career people and teach them things. They are some of the best in the business when it comes to space grade telescopes so there is a lot to learn that you won't get anywhere else. The work is also pretty interesting because there aren't many space hardware companies around Boston, so if you're into that and into Wahlburgers or whatever this is the best compromise.
Cons
After merging with Harris, this location is now more controlled by the larger corporation. Going forward, we'll change most of our processes to theirs and lose a lot of freedom. They also really crack down hard about getting compliance training and timecards done on time. Half of your emails will be about this. Also they have ditched interesting one off products to pursue more high volume defense contracts so the work going forward will be more tedious and myopic.

We're glad to hear you are enjoying your team and are finding great development opportunities with us. Processes like compliance training and charge codes are necessary for us to remain compliant with the customers who depend on us for their mission-critical solutions. However, we're always looking for ways to improve and streamline our process, so if you see a way we can do so on your team or elsewhere, please reach out to your manager or HR Business Partner so we can continuously improve.
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
if you're any good, you can command a good salary, good help is hard to come by these days.
Cons
The Harris merger lowered this particular business unit to new lows. IT support nonexistent, aging tools, bug infested and obsolete software, crumbling infrastructure and a complete lack of courtesy and respect for employees. At this location we were using 13 year old software and billing the government at an overhead rate that is unspeakable. And the annual compliance training is geared for elementary school children. Grown men and women don't need to be fed that kind of pablum.

Best Combination of Exciting Work, Culture, and Work-Life Balance
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
For an engineer, this is an incredible place that offers exciting technical work to do in the business. Out of three jobs, this has been way better day-to-day than anything before. The culture is professional with a Dress for Your Day policy, a flexible work schedule. Employee friendly accurately describes L3Harris. I can work a 9/80 schedule, wear comfy clothes, and my preference of work and team is highly valued. Plus, my teammates actually help me develop. The PTO is incredible at 4 weeks a year from Day 1 for all employees. The compensation is very good for the cost of living. The retirement matching is standard for engineers, and the health insurance has the lowest deductible for the price out of my 3 companies. I wish I had started my career here and highly recommend this company for those looking for a better company or to start their careers.
Cons
With the recent merger with Harris, the company is still undergoing some normal growing pains with IT and other processes. This is usually the norm everywhere I've been so this is just to make sure no one thinks everything is perfect.

- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Working with L3 Harris has been a fun experience because of the culture the company has developed. The environment is filled with people that are committed to excellence. Also, having a job through the union is beneficial because of the job securities and protections it offers.
Cons
If you're a union worker with low seniority, seeking any promotion can be fairly difficult. Also, seeking a different career within the company has been difficult because of a lack of experience.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
They take care of their employees and provide a good salary and benefits. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a change.
Cons
The company is still in transformation from the recent L3 and Harris merger. But the changes are exciting and they are positioning themselves to become a top defense contractor.
