Pros

Salary is great. Flexible time for work and personal business. Good support for career growth.

Cons

Horrific government like work culture. Very hierarchal management structure. Mired in process red tape and inefficiency. Seems like the company is obsessed with CYA messages and training. Seems like we have days at work that mirror "Office Space".

Pros

This company is good for young engineers recently out of college, as long you get on a project with modern technologies (otherwise, you really are wasting your time/skills). They pay well in the beginning, but one you reach level 3, get out. Management at this company thinks nothing of abusing technical staff to work 60+ hours a week to meet contract deadlines that should never have been agreed to. And once you reach level 4, your peers in the non-military/government world will be making much more than you.

Cons

Very political. Senior technical people got to their positions not because of actual technical skills, but because of politics. A couple that I know run enterprise level Java SOA projects, and they've never written a line of Java code before! A huge wave of older senior managers (who were good) level the company within the last 5 years, and their replacements (VPs and directors) were promoted too far too fast, and are doing a god-awful job. Market share continues to plummet, being lost to smaller more agile companies. And LM has been losing an alarming number of ECP/follow-on contracts, largely due to delivery very low quality products.
