Harris Corp. Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I will not answer - nothing to do with my resume submission"

"I've enjoyed my time at Harris Corporation. The breadth and caliber of mission critical solutions they provide is breathtaking and it has been an honor to be a part of it. The hardest thing though is being in a division where lay-off's were just about a yearly occurrence. Other divisions within the company were doing great but my division always struggled to meet projections. Part of it has been due to economic issues that plague our customers but the other part can only be attributed to mismanagement within the company."

"The work environment is nice where the people are friendly, at least within my team. The pay is decent as well with decent benefits. The only downside I would say is, it's hard to advance on the corporate ladder."

"I worked for Harris Corporation (now L3Harris) for 18 months. I was impressed with the company's commitment to employee training."

"This was a great company. The only reason I left was because of its location. I wanted to be closer to family."

"Overall the company is good to work for. I currently live in Orlando and plan to be here for a while. Driving roughly two and half hours for the past year and half has been a lot and am looking for new opportunities. I worked in the space and intelligence division, specifically on satellite payloads."

"Good technology company that tries to stay focused on mission."

"Starting Jan 2016, Harris is eliminating traditional vacation time whereby employees had a defined number of hours assigned to them to use at the employee's discretion. The new vacation PTO policy is being marketed as unlimited but in reality it is at the employer's discretion, there are no assigned hours and it is uncertain how much time you can take in a year. Further, you now need to ask permission months in advance to take a week off. If you are on a high stress job with a lot of OT, you will probably be denied a vacation request. If management thinks they won't make their profit targets, and they decide to shrink the vacation bucket, everyone will get cut. HR plans to police the system to prevent favoritism by managers, you can decide how effective that will be. Top level Harris managers are not tech savvy innovators, they are cost cutters and employees are treated as cost. Technical training for ever changing design tools engineers need is pretty much nonexistent except perhaps for new grads."

"I have worked for this company for more than 2 years. This company takes many government contracts, very performance driven, constantly doing employee performance evaluation which hardly seems fair because it is almost only decided by the task lead who only compares a person's performance with same level other engineers', not considerate of a person's background, if he is put in the right job or not. Higher level engineers (level 3+) are often shuffled around more/roll off the program quicker because they cost more and no task lead wants to spend more money if lower level engineers can do the work."
