Pros

Some really decent local mid-level staff stuck in a bad situation.

Cons

This review is only about LM RMS and the F-35 program. I was there from 2007 - 2018. About every 4 years top RMS would clean house on the F-35 program in Orlando and bring in new management. All of them brought in some good ideas/improvements that most people accepted. The issue is how the ideas were applied and how they integrated the new ideas with the current staff. Every new round of management would come in with the same pompous command & control style. Their thinking would always be that if you were here during the previous trouble then you must be part of the problem. They all thought they knew better and had the magic bullet. The truth is that software development is not a strong suit of LM.

Pros

The immense patriotic satisfaction of delivering a technologically advanced product to our military service branches to ensure continued national security dominance over all others. Working with a diverse group of talented people with different backgrounds to achieve a common goal. Having a pay scale, benefits package, and work schedule to fit your needs and quality of life. Plenty of camaraderie and activities, such as Christmas parties, softball teams, and recognition events.

Cons

The chance for layoffs when a program completes. Some of the contractor jobs are union, which means that performance reviews are basically non existent for highly motivated individuals. There are some slackers who should not be compared to other hard workers at all. Other than that, the union is a generally good thing for a voice in such a huge company of industry professionals. I'm neither for it or against it, I just roll with it because it's mandatory.
