Pros

I have worked at LM for 16 years now and I will have to say that they are extremely ethical and care more about their employees than their bottom line. Maybe not surprisingly, it seems to help our bottom line more than anything. Now I can only speak to my experience, but I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at LM. I've had some managers who weren't the most involved in my career, but they definitely cared about me and treating me fairly. We also get to work on the coolest missions. The salary/benefits seems to be very competitive when I talk to my family/friends/neighbors. Work life balance has been awesome for me. I've been able to flex my schedule and work from home when needed.

Cons

Classified programs mean you can't work from home very much. It's a big company, so there are chances you can get missed depending on your local organization.

Pros

The projects can sometimes be very interesting.. Some co workers can be very knowledgeable and fun to get to know.

Cons

I worked in several different groups in both Sunnyvale and Palo Alto and the toxic good old boys culture is pervasive. If you call out anyone who has been at the company longer than you no matter how racist, sexist, or abusive, you will be blamed and managed out your group. HR and Ethics will do nothing. I reported someone and then a year later i got contacted for investigation because someone else had reported the same person I did. I also had 2 situations where I was the lead engineer but then replaced once the project reached viability with the EVP. One of the white men who replaced me had less knowledge of how to work on things and was a terrible leader but they didn't stop him from moving up the good ole boys ladder onto my role and later onto a further L code promotion once someone else moved up. There is also a culture of favoritism. All the future managers/leaders have already been preselected by management and it is impossible to move up unless you are one of these people. Even if you provide exceptional work. The benefits are constantly diminished but yet spinned as they are being improved. I was constantly paid less than my peers despite having responsibilities sometimes above those paid more than me. If you are smart and young go someone else unless you enjoy using your white privilege as a super power.
