Pros

The day I walked out the door! It's been four months, and I'm still happy about leaving!

Cons

Virtually everything is bad there. Everyone hates working there. 20 + year employees are leaving to work for less money and loving it!

Pros

The Fury program was interesting/challenging. The small engineering team was exceptionally talented and motivated to succeed. San Luis Obispo is an unusually nice place to live and work for a large engineering company.

Cons

Nearly Impossible to succeed with LM (Owego NY) oversight. Managed by old school fear & intimidation and failed to trust anyone in California as they weren't trustworthy themselves! Unfortunately, upper management proved to be really be exempt from following the LM core values the company promotes.

Pros

Interesting work, HR works quickly (at least when they are laying you off), great perks if you get into management (a big if).

Cons

Use of bait and switch tactics for new hires, constant focus on managers, including the company’s insistence on calling all of them “leaders”. Managers who kiss up to their superiors at the expense of rank and file employees. Lion’s share of resources allocated for management (training, computers, facilities, travel), difficult to get into management if you’re not one of their “Golden Boys”.
