Pros

Most programs require new design of at least small pieces. Safety in numbers. Big government contractor mostly immune to economic downturns.

Cons

Benefits were severely degraded as part of the merger. The "unlimited" time off policy means you get 160 hours/year of vacation time. However, that doesn't carry over year to year and it doesn't get banked so you won't be paid out if you leave the company. Dental and vision max out of pocket is almost the same as your premium and covered expenses are cleanings and one pair of glasses every two years. Health insurance premiums doubled with no increase in coverage. Holidays were reduced by 25%. Big government contractor means bloated workforce with10% of the people doing 90% of the work.

Thank you for your years of service as part of the L3Harris family. Our discretionary PTO provides flexibility for those hoping to balance work and life. This allows for a more inclusive benefit to those who require time off for family and important life events. Additionally, while others in our industry have moved toward only providing high deductible health plans, we continue to offer a traditional PPO medical plan option for employees who prefer predictable out-of-pocket costs for PCP, specialist, urgent and emergent care. We're glad you mentioned listening to our employees because we've launched our employee engagement survey and will use this employee feedback to help shape the future of L3Harris. We hope you will participate so we can continuously improve.

Pros

The company's leadership talks good ideals. The company wants modernization. It is believable the company wants to foster growth and creativity.

Cons

The "merger" is really a Harris operations takeover of L3T. Former L3 divisions are left stranded as far as direction goes. Career framework restructuring has drastically undervalued employee experience -- employees with decades of experience are being classified into extremely junior positions in the career framework -- I've seen reclassification of people with 20 years experience to a title for someone with a degree and 2 years experience. We are all waiting to see how abysmal the mapping of L3 salaries will be in the merged company. Benefits immediately became more expensive after the merger. Leadership continually tries claiming we are still competitive to our peer companies, yet tries to say we are going to be better. Enormous amounts of senior, experienced people are effectively being forced out. There is a definite shift towards junior roles, which will lead to massive turn over when leaving the company becomes the only option for career growth/raises.
