Pros

- Work-life balance - Tuition Reimbursement - Breadth of opportunity to work on diverse projects - Challenging project opportunities - Ability to change projects, lateral career moves

Cons

- Poor performing employees are abundant and often not disciplined; most likely a result of complicated HR procedures for discipline all focused on covering the company's legal interests instead of "doing what's right"; coincidentally a "core value". - Not a lot of training opportunities and/or untimely and unrelated to job duties - Pay not commensurate with performance - Complex system to determine pay, promotions are hard to come by and tied more to years of service - Lower levels are easier to get promoted up. Upper levels become slow and far between. Bands are crowded higher up leading to "crowding"; making promotions few and far between. - New benefits package spun as "better", but more out-of-pocket compared to old plans.

Pros

The pay here is above average, the type of work available is very diverse and the available work locations is a plus. For example if you work in NE region and you want to work in the West region there are several LM sites in that area. Also, in the Metro DC area there are plenty of opportunities there as well. There are also several overseas locations as well such as the UK and Aus. Great place for new college grads to get experience they will pay for your

Cons

Management is often disconnect from staff. No bonuses or profit sharing for staff.
