Not the company it once was

Pros

There is some level of prestige working for the largest defense contractor in the world. Opportunities in many locations allows geographical movement and advancement

Cons

LM has become too PC. There are support groups for every possible workgroup. It seems that some of the younger employees contribute little to the end product but much of their time planning events. In spite of record stock price and earnings, they are nickel and diming employees on benefits, salaries and raises.

Awesome People, Horrible Everything Else

Pros

Awesome coworkers. I can't say enough about their level of patience, dedication, willingness to help, etc.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. The company especially likes to shove their yearly profit and future profit desires right in your face, but that doesn't mean that those who work hard will see a reward. I'm not naive, but I can only stand a certain level of hypocrisy. As a veteran, I expected a private contractor to milk the government, but I didn't expect that mentality to be so prominent and blatant. What's worse is that they try to force creativity, but the moment you share a legitimate idea, they take it while trying to make you think they're doing you a favor. For instance, during a presentation, we were told a story about how an employee had an idea that led to a new product which made a lot of money. When asked what happened to the employee, we were told he actually quit, didn't keep a % of the profit, not giving a decent promotion, and basically all the opposite of fair or logical. There is simply too much, I'd recommend to assume whatever other aspect besides your coworkers to be at a mediocre to terrible caliber. Pay, facilities, equipment, initial training, etc.

Pros

- Good work/life balance.

Cons

- Dont expect to change any of the culture. Will try to promote newer tech but can never get it pushed through - No telecommuting. - Plant is ancient and has not been renewed. - Difficult to get pay raises for hard work. - Treated like another number. - Parking is horrible and will take you an hour to get to your desk.
