Harris Computer FAQ

Pros

Harris has a great company culture. Satellite offices are given great health benefits with minimal micromanagement from corporate.

Cons

Compensation is slightly lower than industry standards.

Pros

Good Benefits, except 401K that is non existent pretty much.

Cons

This is large company, consisted of many business units. One's experience really depends on the particular BU management. Mine was not that great (to say the least). Management has no idea how to run the software shop, no clue on how to preserve the knowledge and the talent they accrue. When numbers don't add up at the end of the quarter ... there is only one solution ... lay offs. Also there is no bonus or merit increase if you are not in management.

Pros

Harris promotes a culture of providing employees with diverse opportunities for a career path that fits their aspirations and interests. I've played a number of roles along my long and exciting journey and thoroughly enjoyed in each of those roles. Harris is a firm believer of building future leaders from within. The number of vertical markets, products and technology stacks promotes a vibrant ecosystem of cutting edge opportunities. Looking forward to my continued growth within the organization.

Cons

Harris does look for highly motivated individuals who are not averse to continuously learn and improve.

Advice to Management

Continue empowering and investing in people.

Pros

As part of the corporate team at Harris, I have great growth opportunities, management that truly cares about that growth, and an amazing work environment. I do care about my work life balance and that is respected, which allows me to be alright with any overtime I choose to put in. I have been with Harris for just under a year now, and although there has been internal movement, I have truly enjoyed my time and been able to grow as a professional.

Cons

These factors will vary based on which Business Unit (BU) you are in, but we push for the Harris values across all BU's.

Advice to Management

Keep it up and make sure you continue to grow your loyal employees.

Pros

- Excellent scope of work considering the amount of experience needed. Got exposed to loads of corporate accounting and progressed into a more mid-level role with no designations - Friday lunches - Family friendly, flexible work hours

Cons

- Pay is well below market levels - Favoritism aimed towards more mid/senior management - No organic growth. Growth achieved through buying out smaller companies and gutting them - No mentorship for improvement, have to do what feels like stepping on toes to try and get new work/guidance

Advice to Management

Look at your pay scales. Even increasing base salaries by $5k would do wonders for lowering turnover and getting more out of employees.
