Pros

Good work and life balance. Multiple locations in DC metro area. Flexible working hours, including telecommuting. Pension, though no longer available to new hires.

Cons

No paid overtime in most cases. Less emphasis on internal software development. Limited budgets for career development, training courses. Career growth in technical domain limited, very few level 5 and above positions. Benefit costs are high. Salaries not as competitive.

Pros

The employees at LM are very talented and dedicated to meeting customer needs. LM also has very good compensation and benefits.

Cons

LM has a very hierarchical management structure that does not empower employees and take advantage of their talent. I also found managers to be more focused on managing up rather than taking care of their people. The company is too focused on technical skills and not enough on program/project management skills resulting in customer dissatisfaction with cost and schedule performance of programs.
