Good but not great

Subcontracts manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

All the benefits of working for a big company like training opportunity, lots of locations if you're willing to move, plenty to do if you want to try something new. Very good flexibility (everyone gets a laptop and full flex hour control). Pretty good school reimbursement program given most companies are eliminating this now.

Cons

As with any big company the bureaucracy is insane. Also take into account the customer (military) so in most cases LM ends up mirroring that type of infrastructure.

Excellent employer, excellent benefits, limited stability due to sequestration

Systems engineer staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility in the workplace has been great. No two days are the same. Ever. As an engineer, you have access to the latest and greatest technologies and you actually get to integrate them into cutting-edge solutions. I've been able to work from home, work from abroad, work from the office and have never had an issue taking time off for personal business. Benefits are comparable to any large company and they seem to stay competitive with the marketplace.

Cons

As a large corporation, there are many hoops to jump through to get something done. Getting funding for materials can be challenging and there seems to be hardened obstacles at many turns. The annual evaluation process attempts to provide a balanced approach, but still ends up being based on a functional manager's preference and salesmanship in a group setting.

Great company great benefits - but risky

Systems engineer staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunities for salary, training, travel - flexibility in work location, family time is encouraged. 401k match and salary (including yearly increases and spot awards) are plentiful.

Cons

As with any contractor, the possibility for contract loss is always in the back of your mind. You have to be prepared to duck and move, keep your resume' updated, it'll come in handy.
