Pros

It's nice to work at a place with so much going on that nobody has to horde their expertise or information. Everyone is willing to help everyone, or even teach them everything they know, because there is plenty to do. It's been a blessing to be busy during the COVID situation. It's easy to move around the company and there is plenty of crazy cool work going on all over the place. Now that L3 and Harris have merged it's even better because the two companies complement each other so well and the merger has gone very smoothly. This really has become a top notch company to work for and to pursue a career at!

Cons

If there is one downside at L3Harris it is that the management is somewhat risk adverse. They keep the staff level at just below what is probably required in order to weather storms without layoffs. This means everyone is very busy all the time. The challenge as an employee is knowing when to quit for the day and head home. Management is fine with you doing just that, but it can be a challenge if you are engrossed in your work.

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
