Pros

L3harris pays well but the benefits have been significantly reduced since the merger.

Cons

The culture is adversarial in nature; particularly from senior management to program management, and other directorates. There is an unhealthy amount of infighting between functional departments. Total lack of trust in management from all levels of the organization. A lot of that stems from how poorly employees are treated with regard to benefits and lack of respect. After being in the work force for over 40 years, my last two years at L3Harris Mason were the most frustrating and least satisfying of any in my career.

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
