Pros

Harris for years has had the core values or Pillars to guide them.

Cons

Yet as Jeff has shifted his work load, Jerry retired, the new leadership’s focus is solely of EBITA, the core values are now nothing more than a poster on the wall. Senior North American employees are being let go and replaced with offshore or nearshore for the sole purpose of increasing ratios. Respect the individual is sacrificed for profitability.

Harrs has had some leadership changes due to retirement and personal priorities adjusting. We are grateful for our leaders past and present. Change does create tension and opportunity. We are working to balance both to ensure the vision of Harrs: To create the enduring organization. We know that you played a part in that vision and for that we are grateful.

Pros

Great company to work for, though they are all about the next thing to acquire.

Cons

401K plan is a 'maybe we will match' type thing. Could be much better.

Pros

It (mostly) pays the bills. Your day to day experience will depend entirely on the business unit you are in and your localized management.

Cons

Compensation is low. Their business model is just continuously acquiring established software companies, gutting them, and rebuilding them according to their model. Standard corporate experience. They will pay you as little as possible to retain you, and do things like changing the structure of HSA contributions to save a buck.
