      Pros

      Most programs require new design of at least small pieces. Safety in numbers. Big government contractor mostly immune to economic downturns.

      Cons

      Benefits were severely degraded as part of the merger. The "unlimited" time off policy means you get 160 hours/year of vacation time. However, that doesn't carry over year to year and it doesn't get banked so you won't be paid out if you leave the company. Dental and vision max out of pocket is almost the same as your premium and covered expenses are cleanings and one pair of glasses every two years. Health insurance premiums doubled with no increase in coverage. Holidays were reduced by 25%. Big government contractor means bloated workforce with10% of the people doing 90% of the work.

      Thank you for your years of service as part of the L3Harris family. Our discretionary PTO provides flexibility for those hoping to balance work and life. This allows for a more inclusive benefit to those who require time off for family and important life events. Additionally, while others in our industry have moved toward only providing high deductible health plans, we continue to offer a traditional PPO medical plan option for employees who prefer predictable out-of-pocket costs for PCP, specialist, urgent and emergent care. We're glad you mentioned listening to our employees because we've launched our employee engagement survey and will use this employee feedback to help shape the future of L3Harris. We hope you will participate so we can continuously improve.

      Pros

      Missions are impactful to the world Top talent in specialized fields Wonderful people Respectful environment

      Cons

      Processes and policies are not robust enough to support the large growth / merger, which leaves everyone operating in silos and interpreting things in their own ways Shared service model is not structured properly Not enough critical thinking around how budgets should be allocated for tools, capital, and salaries Higher level leaders are too in the weeds and not working on the harder strategic aspects Businesses are not aligned with common products to gain best synergies as all businesses fight to defend $s not what actually makes sense for the company (radios sharing same suppliers are in completely different segments; CCAs are built across 10+ different factories managed by different management teams instead of a couple of large COEs) All leaders felt unempowered due to lack of ownership of budgets. Budgets were set but then adjusted at further levels without any additional discussion of new targets and how to achieve. Then budgets would be reallocated a few months into year if you weren't demonstrating that you truly need it. This drove teams to spend heavy up front and not make the smartest decisions at times
