Pros

Good place to start your career... big company with well defined policies make it easy for new employees. Rewarding work, not that stressful (unless you choose to take on additional responsibilities). Fairly good work / life balance (flex time, etc).

Cons

Its a big company with a lot of Process. The process frequently gets in the way of getting work done, which can be frustrating at times if you are a 'result oriented' person

Pros

Engineering excellence is part of culture; breadth of opportunities in types of jobs and locations, extreme depth in technical fields, recognized as industry leader in many areas

Cons

Aging workforce; huge company with associated bureaucracy; government customer often stifles innovation; LM subcontracts actual manufacturing of most products to other companies; extremely long product cycle in most areas (often 5-10 years); use of aging technologies (for Space programs)

Pros

Extremely flexible schedule. Very aware of work life balance. They were very nice when I told them I was leaving.

Cons

Sparse technical career path. Very poorly managed. As expected huge contractors mirror the bloat of the government as a whole.
