Pros

Offers the opportunity to work for large projects of vital importance to the nation. Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

This company works with a lot of old legacy practices and technology and, aside from a small percentage of individuals and a few pockets here and there, is not very innovative. A great many people want to avoid change altogether and actively resist it. This company is trying to go agile, but, aside from a few individuals, just doesn't get it. You're generally either under micromanagement or hit and run management. The company doesn't want to promote anyone except in rare cases. Work-life balance is supported in theory, but in practice you'll be given more work than you could ever possibly complete in a 40 hour work week.

Pros

Supporting projects that are a benefit to the United States gives you a feeling of pride in your job. LM has a secure and safe working environment.

Cons

LM is behind the technology curve and is often stuck in useless processes that add costs to projects. Corporate culture is still stuck in the Cold War era. When government budgets are cut, long term employees suffer. Business portfolio needs more diversity.

Pros

Benefits are industry standard as are salary bands

Cons

They preach innovation, but really want everything to remain unchanged. A very stifling environment full of average to below average employees.
