Fast-paced, exciting place to work developing cutting edge technologies. Very collaborative environment where senior management works with and for the employees ensuring they have the tools and resources they need to do their jobs. Benefits are much better than the industry norm.

Poor management

Do not want to disclose in fear of retaliation (Current Employee) - Arlington, VA - January 31, 2020

When I started at L3T it was the best job and everyone worked as a team. Then top management changed and out with the old and in with the new. Then the merger of equals...more like Harris bought L3 and more management changes, not for the good. That team spirit in the office is no more.

Sr. Program Control/Financial Analyst III (Former Employee) - Chantilly, VA - January 23, 2020

One of the greatest places I worked. Management was great. A lot of flexibility, and family oriented company. I would not have left if my contract was not coming to an end.

All depends on your direct manager

Sr. Contracts Administrator (Former Employee) - Leesburg, VA - October 29, 2019

L3 is made up of several small organizations and the basis of culture and leadership is dependent on where one works. It could range from euphoria to toxic. Senior Management is out of touch and they are self serving. Don’t expect more than a paycheck. There is no inspiration and a lack of standards. If you’re a rising star then I recommend looking elsewhere. Job performance isn’t recognized nor is it rewarded.

Pros

Life work balance

Cons

Little to no opportunities for advancement and professional development.

Employees had to complete a various amount of Remedy Tickets each day.

Senior Desktop Support Technician (Former Employee) - Arlington, VA - October 3, 2019

Employee's had to complete at least 6 Remedy tickets per day. New techs were able to ask the more experienced techs for help on daily work duties. Also had to keep a good relationship with the customers that were
seen for computer fixes that week.

Pros

Free lunches and activies when Gov. Contact was doing good.

Culture at Harris

Systems Engineer (Former Employee) - Herndon, VA - July 8, 2019

It was a big culture shock for me working at Harris. Harris bought out my company that I had been with for 15 years. Harris was much more concerned with schedule and budget than my prior company. My prior company (ITT) was concerned about engineering excellence. If there was a deficiency in the design or documentation, I felt empowered to fix it, even if there was an impact to the schedule or budget. At Harris, I was directed several times to ignore deficiencies in specification documents if fixing them would exceed the schedule or budget. I did as directed, but I was unhappy about the directive.

I felt that Harris prefered junior employees over experienced ones. You can deduce from that what you please.

Odd, conglomerate type company

Systems Engineer (Former Employee) - Reston, VA - April 22, 2019

This company is highly involved with goverment-type contracts. It appears the main method of company growth is acquiring other smaller companies in niche areas. After being acquired, the companies often become their own "division". Thus, the company may seem large, but it does not bring the benefits of cross-division cooperation and collaboration.

Pros

Competitive salary and benefits

Cons

Usually cannot advance beyond hired role, technical/managerial environment varies greatly from division to division

Harris

Director of Sales and Business Development (Current Employee) - Herndon, VA - January 5, 2019

Serving our US Military and Aviation Industry is the best part of the job. Harris has some of the brightest people in the business. Company is very focused on just few customers and this may create a risk to sustained growth if US Govt. ever limits Harris L3 ability to sell products to Foreign Military / Governments.

Pros

Ethical, Mission Driven, Quality Focus

Cons

Internal processes consume daytime hours and reduce customer facing time.

L3 gsi

Receptionist (Former Employee) - Chantilly, VA - January 2, 2019

L3 was a well run defense Contractor firm in Northern VA. I was able to learn new things and grow in my duties as a Receptionist. It was a fast pace Front Desk, but nothing I couldn't master. I loved the work, the staff and the frequent regular visitors from other sites. I took pride in the work I did there. It was a joy to go to work each day.

Pros

I enjoyed every minute of my career experience at L3.

Cons

I couldn't marry my Prince Charming and remain on the job at L3. Relocated to NC.

Not a fun place to work. Morale is extremely low.

Accountant (Current Employee) - Dulles, VA - September 2, 2018

The company that I work for (Exelis Inc.) was brought out by Harris Inc. two years ago. Since then 80% of the employees who were working at Exelis, at the time of the sale, have left the company, Morale is extremely low at the company and the work environment is poor.
