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

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 worked for the Londonderry NVG sector and I was there long enough to leave disgusted. Its not enough to say their ethics are lacking, in some cases they have rationalized them away. Mostly in part due to their largest contract, and they still... — read more

Any idea when the Air Force is going to wake-up to the exorbitant cost over-runs and pull the Big Safari program from L3Harris? Asking for a friend.

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??
