Pros

Very interesting projects Laissez faire management style means the teams get a high degree of autonomy to solve problems as they see fit

Cons

Management inaction on resolving problems Most of the work is in MATLAB, so your experience you gain may not be relevant for your next job Incentives for improving efficiency are sometimes limited due to contract-based nature of work

Pros

Relaxed work environment, no suits and people are nice and interested in there work true 40 hour work week, no insane over time 9/80 work schedule gives you a three day weekend every other weekend very flexible with working hours and vacation, "flex time" allows you to build up additional time off Good salary, not the best for the Bay Area but considering the relaxed work environment they offer good compensation. Internal transfers offer access to a wide variety of industries and skill building opportunities.

Cons

While the LM name recognition can help when looking for work this is not a great place for young people to start a career. The company is over managed and seems more interested in chasing the latest ISO / Jack Welch certification than looking at its own history or asking its own employees about what works. There is too much hierarchy and over specialization, that said it's a big company and you can transfer internally to gain a variety of experience. Heading up the management ladder internally though probably won't work, one of my best qualified friend who worked there at the same time as mean and was doing his best was basically told to stop working so hard b/c he was making people look bad.

Pros

Easy Contract Wins leaving horizontal movement if coverage is lost. Large variety of positions and skills makes finding a job easy.

Cons

Inequality between business units. Lack of growth opportunities within divisions. Favor to military experience.
