      Interesting work, good leadership opportunities, low pay, sluggish environment

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a lot of interesting projects. They pay for overtime... anything over 45 hours a week. Flexible schedule. Good leadership training opportunities. There are a lot of opportunities because the company is so large. There are opportunities in every state, and in every field. The benefits are very good. There is a leadership program for young engineers where they invest quite regularly in training and social event.

      Cons

      Pay is less than other places. Extreme risk aversion leads to a sluggish environment where technology is not adopted too quickly. There is a huge amount of process overhead and not all of it is worth while.

      LMMFC ... not a place for innovation

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Right out of college, no experience necessary. LM only hires the brightest, but, the quality of work performed doesn't match the expectations of a new hire. It puts a foot in the door to new engineers. I would say it's a good place to start. But, unfortunately, not a good place to sharpen your skills.

      Cons

      It's not really interesting. there's no design work to be performed, just support. If you're a new hire, you'll be more of a technical secretary in/out of the job.
