Boring work, great everything else

Systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, great telecommuting option if you have unclassified work, flexible work schedules.

Cons

Work is boring, but that's a personal opinion. I desire to do research and analysis and thought I'd be doing that here, but the Aeronautics company is largely a top level systems integrator, i.e. the subcontractors are the ones doing the scientific/research sort of work and LM puts it together. I didn't get a science/engineering degree so that I could update technical documents!

Great experience wit high profile projects

Systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great experience for fresh out college students gain alot of variety of experience first leve management rotates employee to new projects aproximately once a year. Projects are given recognizition

Cons

Employees are evaluated "ranked" for salary increases against others with more experience employee. Employees do not share vital information voluntary. Employees keep critical information to themselves apparently to shore up their job security - to be seen as Subject Matter Experts (SME) by Management. Management gives the subtile message that if you are not viewed as a SME, you will not be be given favorable reviews/raises. Employees are given little or no training.
