I watched with absolute disbelief as people announced their retirements or resignations ... these were all people with 15 and 20 years or more at L3 ... what did the company do? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. NO SMALL GET TOGETHER, NOT EVEN A CARD PASS AROUND... — read more 

What was your breaking point? Whomever I talk to about this, everyone says it didn’t take them long to see how much of a disaster this company is, but they stayed nonetheless because people generally don’t like changes. I’ve only been here for a... — read more 

The Military Training business and the Combat Propulsion systems business are being sold to two separate buyers. This will generate something like a billion dollars in cash (not to mention various bonuses). Will this be the end of the much hyped... — read more 

It's becoming unbearable to work here. I wonder how this company could be better? Since everything starts with management, I’m interested in what moves would good management take if they came to this company? I believe that some changes should be... — read more 

"In January 2015, Wired Magazine ranked Harris Corporation—tied with U.S. Marshals Service—as the number two threat to privacy and communications on the Internet." Anything to make a buck I guess...

Word is the contracts we are getting are nothing more than defense welfare just so the company can be around for a few more years to service the aging and failing equipment we have in the field. Almost all the actual engineering and manufacturing for... — read more 

I am tired of constantly being unhappy at work. I know many people would say being employed should be enough but I remember a time when I used to come to work with a smile on my face. That hasn’t been true for a long time now and I’m determined to... — read more 

It’s widely known what the reputation of L3 / L3Harris is. I didn’t know this until I left the company, but quickly heard a lot of comments from hiring managers and recruiters. **Be very aware that they specifically tell the HR Department not to... — read more 

I’ve read a few posts here written by former employees who are only now seeing how bad L3’s reputation is among companies in the same industry. I’m on the verge of quitting and I’m wondering if L3 looks bad on resume so it’s harder to get a new job... — read more

I was harassed regarding my religion by an employee who later harassed me for a second and third time. Third time I went to my supervisor and manager and told them about the prior incidents and it needs to stop. Later, I was working a project and had... — read more 

Some people are mentioning more layoffs that happened earlier this week but I haven't heard anything. Has anything happened since last week or was that it??

Friday 2-12-2021 Laid off today after surviving Covid. Will post later if I get a count.

Post from TheLayoff.com No, I went to the biggest defense contractor in the world. You can guess who 👍🏻

Well... this certainly is interesting. Found this little tidbit online about ITAR export lawsuits. "Past violations of the Arms Export Control Act by Harris Corp. has resulted in a $13 million civil penalty for the newly formed aerospace and... — read more 

Anyone else experience retaliation here?

I'm going to reply to all to let everyone know to stop replying to all.

Any rumors of layoffs?

For the life of me I can’t decide on whether I want to continue on or jump ship. So many changes have occurred during the last few years, none for the better. I joined bright eyed ready to take on the world. But now I’m not sure if it’s worth it... — read more 

At one point I looked back and realized that I care about this company more than those who need it the most. It seems to me more and more that the workers, even in their free time, think about the situation in the company and its future, and that... — read more

Wondering if anyone in any L3H location got a holiday gift or bonus? Last year, not a thing for GR. Unless you count the lousy holiday party thrown by Human Resources which was a total cheapskate fest.

Are we even considered “competitive” anymore in our industry? I just don’t see it. Our one GREATEST asset was the employees - yet we are treated as nothing more than cogs. Sure, working OT is great, but that is about all I can see that the company... — read more

I left Harris right after the L3 "merger" and heard it's only gotten worse. Are they still top heavy with worthless Harris executive management? Asking for a friend.

Does anyone have any insight on the starting salaries for an engineer? More specifically someone who is a new grad? Is the offer negotiable at L3H?

SO if per diem in a location is $100 for example and you only spend $50, you are only reimbursed $50 and not the full per diem rate of $100, is the company still charging the government $100 and pocketing the difference.

Any ideas??
