At Harris, our number one value is respect of the individual. Respect means listening, supporting and protecting each other, no matter our differences. We celebrate those differences and know that diversity will make Harris, and the world, better than it was yesterday.

Harris means choice, expertise & relationship.
Choice among industry leading software solutions. We provide choice by building or acquiring solutions and then combining them with our software for life program. Our goal is to provide our customers with a solid return on their investment and the ability to choose the best solution that meets their unique needs.
Expertise from our employees who are industry, regulatory and domain experts. We combine industry best practices, decades of experience and our customer communities to deliver a customer experience second to none.
Relationship for the long term. We want our customers to be customers for life and we focus on creating a customer experience that will deliver on this goal. We build mutually beneficial partnerships with our customers where we work together to ensure we understand and meet the needs of their organizations now and in the future.
We combine choice, expertise & relationship with profitable growth and an environment of openness, trust and credibility. At Harris, we do the right thing when it comes to our customers and our employees.
We are a financially strong, growing and stable company—one that provides leadership within our markets, commitment and integrity to our customers and employees and steady returns to our shareholders. Our longevity speaks to our success, we have been in business since 1976 and our ability to adapt to our markets' changing needs ensure our future success.
To enhance the safety of our employees and the communities in which we live and work, all of our employees are currently working remotely until further notice. Our 10 core values are our guiding light during this uncertain time and will be considered in all decisions we make- especially those related to our employees and customers.
How We Are Supporting our Employees and Customers
To support our employees and customers working from home with children, we have created Harris Edu. Hosted on Google Classroom, we have created curriculum for four different age groups to help keep children entertained and learning while their parents work.
We are especially mindful of physical and mental wellbeing during this time. We encourage our employees to utilize our free Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to receive counseling for any work/life issues they may be facing. In addition to EAP, we are partnering with our other vendors to host wellbeing webinars and sharing wellbeing newsletters with additional tips and tricks to stay well.
A Message From Our CEO, Jeff Bender
If you find yourself losing perspective, remind yourself to focus on what matters, do the possible to the best of your ability and be kind…to yourself. COVID-19 will not last, but we will and Harris will endure.
At the Harris Leadership Offsite, attendees were challenged to make a difference within their Business Unit and Community. The results were both amazing and impactful! Harris Business Units raised over $137,000.00, participated in 233 acts of kindness, and invested 1,835 hours to over 50 charities.
While it is true to say that Harris is a collection of businesses – #WeAreHarris – is also true. In an effort to keep connected, engaged as well as create an understanding of where we have come from and where we are going – we are introducing a new podcast We Are Harris. Our goal is to continue to share our stories by introducing you to the people who are creating them each and every day.
I have been working at Harris Computer full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The community is very open. They do think about the employee as much as they think about the company. They make new employees feel very welcome and they set them up for success.
Cons
They are a large company, it can be hard to meet everyone, but that is really not a true con.
Advice to Management
Keep on doing what you are doing. My experience with starting with Harris was great!
Application
I applied online. The process took 5+ weeks. I interviewed at Harris Computer (New York, NY (US)).
Interview
HR/recruiter interview, personality test, manager interview, culture interview, in person interview, final interview, offer letter. Process took about a month, but everyone I met was fantastic and they did a good job of not asking the same questions over and over again. Seems like a great company to work for and that they take good care of their people. Everyone who I spoke to seemed to actually enjoy the company (rather than giving me dead eyes like Office Space), and with the compensation and benefits package, I understand why.
