You are a cog in the machine

Senior project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

What's left of them? The people are great. The pod structure can be helpful as long as you get a good pod. The tech can be great when it works.

Cons

LH is not the same company it once was. It is a corporate engine and you are but a replaceable part. It doesn't matter how good you are, how long you have been working there or what you have done for the company, if you stop being a good little cog your scrap. Pay was never industry standard and qont be unless you have officer in your title, negotiate high and dont expect the yearly bonus to make sense. It's a line they keep moving.

Decent but not amazing

Senior project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people - best, brightest, kind

Cons

Agree with others - Negotiate high pay to start, you will not move up fast They only promote based on who you are close to, not based on any type of leadership skill They are not innovative and ONLY worry about return to shareholder these days, Absolutely no real return to invest in employee growth, satisfaction, or retention. Most importantly - they want you to stay where you are - managers are not encouraging for you to find your true calling, they do not help you move up at all. Managers are not leaders at all, they just manage.
