Pros

Was not micro managed while I was there.

Cons

Management did not know my skill set or cared to ask. Never asked how I was doing, even in relation to the programs I was working. "And you know what else Bob, I had eight bosses." The second one I only met because he started to get automated nag emails from HR that he needed to walk me though one training class. This was after 3 months on the job. The first one dumped me at my desk after HR orientation on the first day and never came back. Office space was noisy and distracting. Four months in a microcube in the lobby of a building with 15 interns.

Pros

The benefits are pretty good

Cons

Unfortunately, LM has become an enforcement branch for a political agenda more than a technical power house. As an example, they recently decided that all employees will get the same salary raise, regardless of performance. When they posted that decision on the internal site, I posted a question "Can HR explain how this is pay for performance, rather than pay for attendance?". Rather than engage in a discussion (isn't that why they allow comments??) they flagged my comment as inappropriate, and removed it. LM is constantly promoting one political party and their views - and it is NOT the party you would expect for a Defense contractor. If you believe in the value of a strong US military, you will probably not be happy at LM.

Pros

Large variety of jobs on campus. Competitive pay. Flexible schedule.

Cons

Marches only to schedule and budget pressure. Individual career growth is not a priority. Not at the cutting edge of practices due to DoD relationship.
