Harris has been working hard to make positive changes and the changes have been well received. If you are looking for an organization that truly values its employees then this is the place to be. It's also pretty cool to see so much tenure here. Employees tend to stick around for decades, which really says something about the company.
Cons
It's hard to think of cons because the organization is headed in a very positive direction. Some processes are outdated, but there is a road map for improvement and employees can see a clear path to a solution.

We’re glad to see the culture is being exemplified in such a transparent way with our team. We wish you continued success in your journey with us.
You get exposed to everything related to construction. Everyone is very helpful in getting you up to speed with the project and gives you a good start to being a well-rounded APM if your career goals is to be in the Construction Project Management industry. They also take summer interns to their main headquarters to meet the executives and other interns, good way to network.
Cons
If you're an engineering major, you don't really get to practice much engineering knowledge you learn in school, but you still learn a lot of new things in construction.

Thank you for leaving a rating and your comments. We are very pleased to hear that you've had a positive experience during your internship with Harris! We wish you the best as you continue your journey.
Beyond expectations. Minimal training to be proficient with the expectations. No concept on family time vs work. GM is all about sales and has no construction knowledge. He has no idea on what it takes to do the work and get projects completed. Plumbing and Mechanical division field personel had their own agendas and does not work for the company. Sheet metal division has a great superintendent and good GF. Building Automation only has 1 person that knows all. The unfortunate thing is Harris expects Josh to be all do all. This company runs on the principle complete 90% and spend another 30% to get to the finish line.
