Great missions, technilogy, teams. Struggling to meet new market. Lost special sauce on good leadership.

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really fantastic team. Genuine attemp to tailor to meet the demands of new/agile space. Command media is remarkably good and woefully deprioritized - if read, deliberately tailored is a huge asset. Smart people who really care about the mission.

Cons

Deployed high-consequence, low-risk-tolerance leaders into agile, high-risk environments and expected different results, and then got too many opinions vs decision makers taking accountability. Tends to promote toxicity into positions of authority and then doubles down when things go wonky. They have been around enough to know that good leadership is an asset yet good leaders in key roles are few. The ones that exist become frustrated and jaded. Feels micromanagey,

Excellent company, badass products

Business Outlook

Pros

You will not have the opportunity to work on cooler products anywhere else, period. Maybe other companies have a couple cool products but LM has a diverse portfolio of awesome end item deliverables. Can do pretty much anything, anywhere in country and still be under LM umbrella. Lots of opportunity for growth if you perform

Cons

Lots of beurocracy, as with any large company
