Pros

They are a defense contractor who employ people

Cons

The culture is adversarial in Space and Airborne Systems between senior management and the programs. There are constant demands to work overtime even when there is nothing to do. Total lack of trust in management at all levels of the organization. There is no respect towards employees and the work life balance is poor (unless you are the HR person responding to these posts. Apparently they are treated well, but then again they don't work on programs.)

L3Harris Response

We're disappointed you feel you are dissatisfied with your experience so far. Many of our employees find our flexible work schedules and discretionary PTO helpful in managing their work/life integration. We're working on continuing to build upon our employee feedback throughout the year so communication is heard at all levels of the organization. We encourage you to work with your manager or HR Business Partner to find opportunities and/or resources to help with your home and work life.

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
