Harris Corporation Employer Reviews

This company overall is a good place to work. A typical day is one that is ever changing. No two days seem to be the same, which is a good thing. While working here, I have learned a great deal about the Aerospace and Defense Industry and Government contracting. This company has some of the best engineering talent I have ever seen. I have not met a – more... person that I do not like. – less

The structure in management within HR makes absolutely no sense. The hardest part about the job was working with the Compensation manager. She is by far the most unfriendly, egotistical and saddest woman I have ever met. Whatever you do, stay away from this woman as she will make your work life as stressful and as miserable as hers.

What I enjoyed – more... most about the job is working with my coworkers as most are pretty friendly, approachable but they do have a clique mindset.

HITS needs to focus on developing it's employees. Within the HR department, they would rather contract positions than actually hire into them. – less

Corporate culture is pathetic. What you know isn't as important as who you align yourself with. Be sure to pick the right manager to schmooze or your career will go nowhere. Never offer an opinion, especially if it is in any way unfavorable about the current process. Most of the managers I interacted with were incapable of adequately performing their – more... jobs but were very good at passing the buck. I saw excellent people let go because of sequestration while sub-par people were kept. Pay is low, no training provided, no job security. My department may not be indicative of the whole company but it was very poorly managed and I cannot recommend it to anyone. – less

Harris has been a great place to work. I have had many leadership and advancement opportunities. Everyone works as a team and makes work fun! They value their employees and offer many employee engagement activities.

In my current role I learned a lot about Environmental, Health and Safety and the importance it plays in any corporation. I was also the assistant for our Real Estate group which gave me insight into corporation leases and working with the landlords.

In short, I'm not getting proper value for my time (in other words they don't pay what they should be for the job content, and they know it). They've eluded to job progression but it's hard to believe since I haven't been informed of what it takes to be promoted. The listing for the job I applied for turned out to be a far cry from the job it led on – more... to be. I'm in a remote location and am not being compensated at all for the inconvenience.

In all fairness, I haven't afforded them ample time to offer me a promotion so take what I'm saying with a grain. – less

Salary is above that of the educational system, but lower than other industry jobs. Better chance for advancement for women and minorites than for caucasian males, unless you have overwhelming higher qualifications.

Advanced skills in SONET/Routing
Good Management
Great people to work with
Culture is the hardest part

the most enjoyable part of the job is the vast variety of technology available. Worst part is dealing with government financial instability.

I enjoyed working with Harris corp, like their flexible schedule, learnt a lot, gave a great opportunity to have a balance work life.

Fast-paced work environment, employees are expected to achieve results on a daily/weekly basis.

The work is challenging, the co-workers are great, and management is very focused and truly lead the organization.

The moto is "Assured Communications" and communication is absolutely non-existent!! Was interviewed for a permanent position and was hired as a temp. Vastly overqualified for the position and instead of finding a better fit was let go with the statement "I think you're just too smart for this job."

I learned so much working at Harris. Both my parents were also employed there. It was a great company.

Nice bebefits and salary. Good work environment. Nice people.

Professional environement. Project team was wonderful to work with.

Management not qualified to lead. Manager not selected with normal qualifications for a job. Seems to be a lot good 'ol girls going on. Nepotism, low values, waste, overcharging of FAA client.

very good I learn a lot about goverment area documentation at different levels

Great place to work. Salaries are a little light, but overall work/life balance is good. Ethics are top notch!

Not competitive compensation, they will low-ball you.
Great 401k match.
Like others have said, they do not promote from within, rather, they hire from outside. Most people quit and then go back.
Contractors are laid off yearly.
Manufacturing is led by uneducated managers and cell leaders.
Professional environment although many meetings become yelling – more... matches.
Constantly getting in their own way.
Departments must gang up on another to get anything changed.
Management will not stand up for you, they will not rock the boat.
Like others have said, they do not believe in employee growth. – less
