Prós
- Flexible work schedule (4/10, Flex 40, etc) - 3.5% raise (more if you're a top employee) + bonus every year - Good health, vision, dental insurance - Great 401k match (LM will match 50% of the first 8% you contribute, totaling 12%) - Slow and steady career growth (if you're into that kind of thing) - Easy to transition to other teams if you want different work depending on the time of the year, there are many opportunities to learn new stuff - LM will pay some amount towards a Master's degree if you want one - Modern and clean offices/locations
Contras
- People transition off of teams like flies and there are usually no back fills (it makes sense if you understand that one of the only ways to get a significant pay increase in LM is to jump to another team/leave the company) - Promotions do not increase your current salary by 10%+ unless you're a top employee, it's a fixed number (MES base salary has been 96k for the past couple of years with no inflation adjustment) - Forget about negotiating your salary to HR unless your manager does it for you and backs you up at the same time
