Pros

When I first started working for LM they appreciated my talents. They were a great place to encourage career growth.

Cons

Too much restructuring, not much job security anymore. Insurance costs keep rising, not much room for growth, seems like the company is taking a different direction. Now they are freezing all transfers from our business unit in anticipation of the elimination of several contracts and many employees possibly being laid off in the coming months. Work life balance is non-existent. Expect you to work an extra 4-8 hours a week "just because" when sometimes there is no additional work to do that couldn't be done during the regular 40 work week and it is enforced more with some rather than others. Pay is not as competition as it used to be.

Pros

Can be interesting work. There is a flexible work schedule and the ability to work remotely, if the position allows it. There are lots of talented people to work with.

Cons

The performance evaluation system is flawed and allows incompetent people to benefit while talented reliable employees don't get the recognition that they deserve. There is some "empire building" by certain managers.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay, Corp. Vision decent. Appear to want to do thing but the senior managment needs to figure out what is the priority in a slow defense business. Seems like short term knee jerk reaction over what needs to happen over the long haul.

Cons

Local Syracuse management losses the message. Insider old boys club well in force. Good people laid off in favor of legacy old guard. Core funding needs to cut from obsolete technologies in favor of maintaining leadership in future developement.
