Horrid! Worst place I've ever worked. Very Unprofesional. Ignorant People. Simply Bad. - Government Account Representative Harris & Harris Employee Review

Good and friendly coworkers all the time

Not very great for growth

Harris & Harris has a genuinely talented team. The connections you build and relationships you maintain here are valuable and worth cultivating. The caliber of people is notably high. The CEO is an exceptional leader who demonstrates genuine care for his team’s wellbeing and development. However, this mindset is not consistently reflected across the broader executive leadership.

Harris & Harris presents a mixed employment picture with significant drawbacks. Compensation is well below market rate with no bonus structure, and advancement opportunities are limited unless you commit to 5+ years tenure. The organizational leadership and business practices raise ethical concerns, particularly regarding collection tactics and approaches that prioritize aggressive outcomes over principled decision-making. The role itself suffers from this cultural misalignment. You’re asked to execute work that doesn’t align with professional standards, at compensation that doesn’t reflect the demands or complexity of the position. The individual team members are genuinely capable and personable, but the organization structures itself to limit their growth. Career advancement is actively discouraged, and staffing remains intentionally lean, resulting in workload that far exceeds typical role expectations. This combination of demanding work, suppressed growth opportunities, and compensation significantly below market value creates an unsustainable stress-to-benefit ratio. The role asks for seniority-level output at entry-level pay, with few pathways to improvement.
