Pros

People will stay in the same position for many years doing easy work.

Cons

There is no employee development. Sr. Management will not address behavioral issues of managers or staff. They simply believe the issues will magically go away or tell you to "work it out" or "deal with it". Cultural Diversity is non-existent in upper management positions.

Pros

This company provides wonderful benefits; flexible hours, insurance, etc. The work environment is currently positive, and the jobs are very stable. The culture is military-ish, and deadlines are set to be attainable.

Cons

After completing multiple trainings and a Master’s degree, this company was un willing to provide more work or more opportunities, had to relocate to achieve that. This company has too many levels of management, which causes a lot of finger pointing.

Pros

I worked as a contractor at a federal agency, under a LM contract, for six years. LM bought out the old company, so I had two choices; go with LM or change careers. I took a gamble and it paid off, I stayed with LM. Leadership would often listen to a well-reasoned business case or suggestion, and the tuition assistance program is very nice. In addition, leadership did remove two middle managers who were dishonest, but this did take two years. This cleared the deck for the rest of us to do our jobs, and win three successive contract annual renewals. Further, the company instituted raises tied to your evaluations. It is pleasant to get a slightly larger annual raise because you deliver good work.

Cons

LM is still a very large organization, and therefore does not always rapidly respond to changing market and client requirements. Also, do not expect a rapid solution from Human Resources, you have to be persistent and document every communication with HR to accomplish something. Beats working for a mom&pop company, though.
