Pros

The San Diego site is unlike most in that employees have their own offices rather than cubicles, and many have window offices. There is a good blend of interesting and challenging projects mixed with more routine programs that pay the bills. Company supports flex time and 9-80 work week which is nice. Promotions for entry to mid-level enginners are readily attainable for solid performers. Technical competence of enginners at the site is well above average and most are genuinely interested in their work. Salaries are good.

Cons

Corporate medical benefits have gone downhill as with many sectors. New LM health plan is less than ideal with employees picking up a lot more of the costs. IRAD funds are hard to come by and favor improving near term business results vs. long term advanced research goals. IT support is understaffed and struggles to keep up with day to day requests. IT services frequently block useful content and spyware/security/scanning apps and practices render developer machines sluggish.
