Pros

Challenging and fast paced environment. Lots to learn and experience if you're willing to try. 6% matching on 401k. For now.

Cons

Harris used to be a great company with quality benefits and it was a place where I felt happy to have a career. Now the benefits have been systematically gutted. Raises below inflation and worse still when the cost of the absolutely garbage health insurance is factored in. Promotions and career development are more myths than reality. Constant change of management. Your manager may know nothing about you as its on paper only and then you have to justify that your worth something. There used to be profit sharing. Thats gone. Huge disconnect between management and the people who do the work. Knowledge is wasted because someone with a degree disregards someone with decades of experience.

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
