Pros

not overworked flexible schedule interesting products good public reputation tuition reimbursement program

Cons

declining industry (people in the US are tired of spending so much on defense) highly secretive annual review system where 70% of employees get the same small raise each year few promotions overall atmosphere of mediocre / sub-par engineers who just want a paycheck management will routinely lie to you very high attrition medical benefits were replaced by a cheap HMO plan under Aetna. no stock purchase program unless you are an exec.

Pros

LM provides technically challenging work and has a lot of opportunity for an individual right out of college to begin a career.

Cons

Each business area operates seperately with its own culture. Transfering between business areas can be a disappointing process for employees.

Pros

Good benefits, work schedule (9/80), flex time. Interesting defense work. Most fellow workers good to work with, communicate well. Managers do a decent job of sharing specific expertise across projects. Willing to offer overtime if needed. Willing to fund education for those that want to improve.

Cons

Low raises last 5 years, despite good reviews. No training funds for self-improvement during rare periods of idle time between projects. Management bids tended to be overly optimistic on new technology bids. Formal performance reviews are painful, employees asked for more informal feedback, got more frequent formal reviews instead. If you really want to be recognized, work on a project in trouble.
