Level III Technician (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - June 9, 2021
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by Indeedscheduling is too close to dead lines. Creates an almost impossible dead line for planning to meet with the personnel with experience having to work a great amount of over time. Technicians work well together majority of the time. direct management supportive and great full.
Pros

Lack of information at times

big company
Senior Software Engineer IV (Current Employee) - Melbourne, FL - September 3, 2021
Big company and lots of management layers, older technology. Pockets of quality products but not always. Could be a career for those who like to hang onto what forever.

Technology and Engineers are Amazing, No Leadership
Director (Former Employee) - Salt Lake City, UT - September 3, 2021
This company and the business unit I fall under has amazing potential because of the technologies and engineers working those technologies; however, there is no leadership with strategic vision or an understanding of how to take the technology and develop a business around it. This is causing nearly 100% turnover in staff and exacerbating an already high pressure environment to make unrealistic financial goals.
Pros
Great technologies, great engineers and lower level employees
Cons
The worst executive leadership team I have seen in over 25 years of working in this industry.

I had a great manager and coworkers
Facilities (Former Employee) - Rochester, NY - August 30, 2021
I was asked to bend over backwards for the company with very little compensation. It was frustrating to come to work everyday work hard and complete tasks and not be rewarded my paycheck
Pros
Coworkers and immediate manager
Cons
Pay was terrible

September 14, 2021Thank you for your review. An employee’s annual base salary is determined by various factors including the actual job duties performed, the market rate of pay for the job, the employee’s performance, years of job-related experience, and the location where the job is performed. The organization puts a strong emphasis on rewarding significant contributors and high potential employees. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
You can stay here and possibly advance in the company providing you can get along with others.
Manufacturing Associate (Current Employee) - Cincinnati, OH - August 30, 2021
This company has a lot of younger workers, many of which bring drama and immaturity to the workplace. Sometimes it's difficult to stay focused on the work at hand with this drama, but if you can distance yourself from this, you could make this job work for you.
Pros
One free lunch per month, decent amount of PTO for time worked.
Cons
Personal drama amongst the younger employees can create multiple distractions.

easy job
Armed Security Officer (Current Employee) - Greenville, TX - August 28, 2021
This has been the easiest job I have ever worked, and it is a great way to gain clearance levels and security licenses. Benefits are fantastic and starting pay is pretty good compared to other security jobs. However they lie about the pay raises. They tell you, you will earn a certain amount once you achieve a certain clearance level, only to find out you've had the clearance for months and they don't inform you that you have it. Once you find out about your clearance level and you ask when the pay will start they tell you to give them a few weeks to get it in the system, only for months to pass and still no news on the pay raise.If they would be honest and say they give you a pay raise once a certain project is on sight I would at least respect that. Its the blatant lie that blows me away. That and the fact that the other employees that aren't a part of security have zero respect for the security officers. We are cussed out, yelled at and belittled on nearly a daily basis and nothing happens to these employees. But if we make any remark to one of the employees we are either required to apologize or are suspended without pay, or both.There also tends to be times where we are extremely understaffed so overtime gets forced on you and you have to work your days of,.or your shift becomes 16 hours long.

flexibe work schedue
Lead Systems Engineer (Current Employee) - Utah - August 27, 2021
it varies a lot depending on what program you are on. The overall culture is conservative but more flexibility within engineering. the good thing is there are a variety of programs, and the job is that there are being ruled under the same overall culture. Thus, as all of the bigger companies, there is no big advances easily but the fundamentals are reasonable. The paid is fair but better if don't stay at the company for long period of time.
Pros
9-80 schedule
Cons
need to look for work or take PTO when between programs.

Awful place to work
Aircraft Mechanic (Former Employee) - Greenville, TX - August 25, 2021
The culture is very toxic. Managment want the job done regardless if it is done properly, the same goes for supervisors. My manager would berate anyone out in the open regardless if there were other people around.
Pros
Decent pay
Cons
Everything else

Good pay, job security
Project Engineer (Current Employee) - Palm Bay, FL - August 22, 2021
I'll always be thankful for the open minded individual that took a risk based on me despite a 20 year employment gap. It's been very difficult, particularly during Covid lockdowns, but possible to excel individually here.

Run.
Assembly Contractor (Former Employee) - 1350 jefferson rd - August 21, 2021
Although working for L3 Harris seems like a breeze, it's actually pretty disorganized right now, management wise. Keep your head down, say nothing, don't stand out, and you will do fine.
Pros
flexible work hours and good pay
Cons
pretty much everything else

No room for growth
Quality Control Inspector (Former Employee) - Palm Bay, FL - August 4, 2021
This company will tell you that you will have room for growth. The truth is once your in a position you will stay there no matter what. I have a college degree , combat vet , yet was looked down most times. The company will hire outside people instead of hiring within the company. Moreover , if your a vet who struggles with ptsd that needs to go to your appointments the company will make you use your PTO times that makes it harder to get the time back. This company needs to come up with a plane that cares for vets .
Pros
Job
Cons
Caint go to appointments, people are rude, hours are terrible.

Current Management is very left-leaning, in an overly overt way. Alienates 50% or more of the employee base
Program Manager (Current Employee) - Rochester, NY - August 3, 2021
The technical work is challenging, exciting and supports important national missions. Our products are well received and respected by users. This provides pride in my work product.However, if you disagree with Management "woke" political views, life can be tough. They will find ways to make work life difficult for you. Recommendation is to keep your personal views to yourself.
Pros
9/80 Work Shift
Cons
Management is NOT transparent or honest

A good place to work at but needs more effort to innovate rather than using old pieces of code and designs
Aerospace Engineer (Current Employee) - Arlington, TX - August 1, 2021
A good place to work at but needs more effort to innovate rather than using old pieces of code and designs. I rarely had the chance to innovate and was just working on 40 Years old code every time.
Pros
Good work life balance, "unlimited PTO" but more like160 hours which is great.
Cons
Hard to change and sometimes management is slow

The opposite of a young progressive company.
Stores Specialist (Former Employee) - Menlo Park, CA - July 30, 2021
The company is an older workforce totally against New ways of doing things that could be more efficient. There is a continual disconnect between Management and the employees.

Engineering Tech
Senior Electronics Technician (Former Employee) - Torrance, CA - July 26, 2021
I worked in Torrance as an Engineering Technician, there is no procedures to follow. You depend on your trainer to learn your job. Hostile environment . On the department that I worked, they do not allow you to use their test benches to learn and do your job eventually. During your training, if your make a mistake during testing or troubleshooting PCB's. Management would know and becomes part of your performance. I have not work in such a hostile environment. Everything is micro-manage.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Short breaks

Great place to work
Tech Support (Former Employee) - Arlington, TX - July 22, 2021
I enjoyed my time with L3 and had a great manager. I enjoyed my role and would have stayed if they would have made me a full time employee instead of a contractor

Decent starter job
Assembler (Former Employee) - Sylmar, CA - July 22, 2021
Had great work life balance with different shifts available and a 9/80 schedule. Great start pay. Very unorganized and lack of training. Management did not know where to put you in and would move you around a lot

Really easy work in the AC
I don’t hate working here but I feel like I’m stuck and going nowhere fast here. The benefits suck and vacation time has been cut along with bonuses. If you want to make good money yell need a degree or you have to work lots of OT and work here 20 years. But if you want a laid back job in the AC out of the AZ heat then it might be worth it for you
Pros
Job security easy work
Cons
Not great pay

Horrible
Quality Acceptance Specialist (Former Employee) - Salt Lake City, UT - July 16, 2021
I worked here for 20 years. It got progressively worse every year. The cronyism at this place runs rampant. It’s all about who your “friends” are. That’s how you get promoted. That’s how managers are selected. It was disgusting. I would never work there again. Horrible management and horrible environment.
Pros
Decent pay if you negotiate it up front.
Cons
Management
