Pros

I learn some new technology during this project

Cons

I worked as a contractor in Data Warehouse project for one of the biggest public body. The management was extremely bully as following: - Constantly criticized me, constantly fiercely rejected all my ideas and suggestions. I was shocked by the fact that such a huge system is designed by a Lockheed Martin's employee who has no relevant experience. - Spreading nasty rumors and made dismissive remarks when I spoke - Shouting at me and other team members - Assign me trivial and menial tasks - Withholding important information from me and did not use correct terminology - Ignored me as if I am a contemptible one - Always expected me to produce work in an unrealistic time-scale - Finger pointing at me in all fictitious mistakes Another manager bullied all team members, not just me. On one occasion he said to a colleague of mine in front of others: 'You know the difference between nuts and your brain? Your brain is smaller'. On other occasion he hit a head of another team member (a petite guy) with a ball saying 'Don't stay in the middle!'. It was so appalling. So I left 3 months (the contract was 6 month initially) following other developers. My health is more important for me than coping with this harassment and humiliation every single day. I tried to inform the management - no response.

Pros

The Palmdale site is on a 9:80 schedule in that you get every other Friday off (can't choose which Friday), really awesome. The relocation package is pretty good. The work is incredible. For the vast majority of employees, can't access email when you aren't there, which is usually a huge plus. Get to work with hardworking, intelligent people (my experience so far).

Cons

Not the highest in terms of salaries, especially for PhDs. I would say slightly higher than average, but close to average. Massive corporate machine you have to navigate to get stuff done (e.g., things ordered, various trainings, etc.). No cafeteria or coffee stand on site.

Pros

Still not sure. Oh yeah, 9/80 schedule. One less day every two weeks you have to tolerate the cancer that is Lockheed Martin.

Cons

The culture is toxic. Talent is synonymous with seniority and who you know. Promotions to executive level require retirement or mortality and after you work with these people you start to wish for the mortality path. Significant tolerance for passive aggressive and back stabbing behavior. Conflict is avoided and supplemented with gossip. If you are a high pot at your current employer stay away from this company.
