Great opportunity for development

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

LM offers very good early career development opportunities through its Leadership Development Program. Work is very interesting and it is easy to take pride in what you do. LM SSC has a 9-80 schedule. This offers very good work-life balance. LM SSC also offers very competitive benefits.

Cons

Due to ongoing budgetary pressures, LM has responded with cost-cutting measures that includes promotion freezes. This has left lot of mid-career professionals in the lurch and looking elsewhere. Part of this process has also meant degradation of their benefits.

Senior systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some work is interesting but it depends on the project. Most of the work was to fix errors and consequenses of not following procedures.

Cons

If you have a bad boss, get a new job. Bosses do not have the ability to manage people. Company promotes highly inadequate managers. Most of the employees are not satisfied with their bosses....from micromanaged to completely ignored. Bosses only interested in what it will do for them personally. Bosses do not support their staff.
