Pros

You work with great people, unlimited vacation and payed overtime for salaried jobs. For a big company there is a family feel and everyone generally gets along below the director level. I enjoyed my time at Harris solely due to the people I worked with. There is an us against the world attitude that unfortunately corporate and senior leadership has bestowed upon the regular workers, but it has led to great comradely, respect and appreciation for each other

Cons

Oh where to start where to start. The only reason the review isn’t one star is because of the great people you will work with. However there is a lot of problems working here be warned. The building in Clifton, NJ is old and falling apart. There is a rat and cockroach infestation that corporate and senior leadership ignores in order to improve their bonuses by saving capital funding. The bathrooms haven’t been updated since the 1970s and I don’t think the building was ever cleaned in my time working there. VERY DIRTY! The salaries are embarrassingly low, the lowest. You will make 10-15% less than someone doing the same job in the same industry and region. There will never be any bonuses or pay raises over 3% unless you are in corporate. You will use outdated technology and equipment and will be shamed for asking for something as simple as a new chair. Senior leadership has no idea what they are doing and only care about revenue. I would think a company that makes mission critical solutions for the warfighter would put their customers needs first but nope, if your contract isn’t a big money ticket, you are relegated to the back of the line. Senior leadership and corporate have no idea what is really going on VERY out of touch and will ask you to go in 50 different directions and you will go in 49 and they will complain about the 1 you didn’t have time to get to and shame you. They are nasty with no clear message; leadership needs to know what they want before coming to the average working folks. New hires are forced to use broken chairs from the cafeteria and it Is a struggle to get a pen. A thousand lashes for the treatment of new employees, they should feel welcomed and the company being so cheap makes its very difficult. You will NEVER have adequate tools to do your job, and as such never be put in a position to succeed. The biggest problem I see is that people in high level roles really have no idea what they are doing and it is obvious and affects the organizations morale as a whole. There is a crazy high turnover rate due to the inability to notice and keep good talent, along with the work environment its self.

Pros

The work is engaging, and can be cool. It's definitely advanced stuff and you'll learn a lot here.

Cons

Massive attrition across the business points to serious issues with upper management. It's nearly impossible to advance in your career. They will not counteroffer. They continue to take benefits, some of which are still advertised. Feels like people are pitted against each other far too often, and most feel taken advantage of. For the wrong type of person, this place can prove too stressful. For me this has resulted in several severe medical problems, which have forced my hand in leaving.
