Pros

Best benefits overall with many benefits especially for younger engineers and recent graduates. Tuition assistance is a big plus for the younger engineers.

Cons

You have to to be labeled as a star to get advancement opportunities. Company does not value older engineers with many years of experience. Managers only embrace the younger generations.

Pros

Interesting programs and projects, great management, coworkers, and customers. Plenty of opportunities for career growth. Great place for a young engineer to gain experience. Good work/life balance with the 9/80 schedule.

Cons

LM's engineer salaries in Sunnyvale are low compared to other Silicon Valley employers. Health and other benefits getting weaker and weaker every year. The company's longterm strategy appears to be to close Sunnyvale facilities in favor of moving business to Colorado.
