Pros

Lower level management and below employees are great! Flexibility for a decent work life balance

Cons

Their promotion system is the worst I’ve encountered. The company would rather hire outside the company then promote within. I have seen many people leave because the company refuses to be competitive with compensation unless you are a new hire. I’ve seen this job used as a stepping stone into the industry to get a security clearance more times than an employee looking to stay. Their HR and compensation team are location across the country and are completely out of touch with the market.

L3Harris Response

Thank you for your review. We are glad you are enjoying our workplace flexibility! We annually participate in several high-technology, global salary surveys to understand the pay levels of the companies for which we compete for talent in the marketplace. This data is benchmarked and used as a basis for setting our salary ranges. When unanticipated upward market movement is identified specific to job functions, families or positions, market adjustments to individual base salaries are made outside the normal annual compensation cycle to respond to that movement. To learn more or if you have questions we encourage you to reach out to your local HR Business Partner.

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
