Work-Life Balance
L3Harris explicitly advertises a 9/80 work schedule as a standard benefit "available for most employees." On the 9/80, employees compress 80 hours into nine workdays and take every other Friday off. Many active job postings include "9/80" or "9-80 schedule" directly in the job title or description, indicating it's a common arrangement across engineering, operations, and integration & test roles.
