"Process-heavy defense contractor with high security, high monitoring and low flexibility in terms of development tools. Value process over results in many cases, but still hold your feet to the fire for results. Talented principals, with a lot of experience, and top-notch engineers who can be heroic to get things done."

Harris Corp. Employee

"The work environment is nice where the people are friendly, at least within my team. The pay is decent as well with decent benefits. The only downside I would say is, it's hard to advance on the corporate ladder."

Harris Corp. Employee

"For the most part, Harris is a stable company. However, I find the work here a bit boring and the technology a bit old. They have slashed bonuses and other benefits in the past year and raises have not been as good either. I don't have much confidence in my future happiness at this company."
