Pros

The MFC site in Orlando was close to the perfect experience (minus the crazy rain!)!! I was afforded the opportunity to push myself as hard as I wanted. I was given guidance throughout my entire internship but enough freedom to test my creativity and knowledge. My project had me work mostly with cad models designing things.

Cons

None, potentially extending the hours of the cafeterias by a little bit

Pros

+ Genuine, knowledgeable, friendly, passionate workforce. + Flexible working hours and patterns. + Good benefits. + Opportunities to experience work at other LM offices. + Good mentorship opportunities. + Quality of compliance training has improved over the years.

Cons

- Total lack of local autonomy; every decision must flow up and down the leadership chain, leading to painfully slow decision-making. - Training hard to come by unless it is critical for your job. Even then, you have to fight for it. - Inflexible customers; difficult or impossible to move projects or have time to do side-projects if you are fee-earning. - Empty promises from leaders, especially visiting MDs. They will take your concerns and promptly forget about them. - Technical positions are overwhelmingly male dominated. - Business unwilling to take any risk; any initial investment will be minuscule. - Business unwilling to pay for technical leaders (SMEs). - Promotion difficult unless you mix with the right crowds. - Poor appraisal system. You may be given commitments that are totally out of your control, and even if you surpass your year's expectations don't expect much for it. - Leadership overly reliant on people perceptions instead of actual performance. - Slow to react to new technologies.
