Not at all what I expected

Field engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Worked as a Mechanical Engineer overseas. The money was good, the benefits ok, and the working conditions were manageable.

Cons

I just hope this is not what LMC is all about, our superiors were unable to place a round peg into a round hole if you held their hand. NO LEADERSHIP whatsoever and the people on top only hire their buddies for the lead jobs. No advancement unless you are related to someone.

Wake Up & Smell The Coffee

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working 9 day fortnight, pay reasonable, benefits good, support of career advancement.

Cons

Tick box culture. Lessons never learnt. Continual circle of change without actual improvement. Continual focus groups on issues, but rarely issues addressed. Very poor management, pat on back for the higher level personnel and up and coming high end employees. Experience and voice matters little unless it fits. Many wrong inexperienced people in senior roles or supporting roles giving poor focus and leadership. Each project self driven no overall control. Front end of process, slow and poor with major delays, which are expected to be picked up at the other end of process to meet target and tick box regardless or time scale and notice. Hard work and frustrating to do the day job what you thought you were there for. Many higher level tasks passed down as far as possible to add to work load.

Company not so diverse since Asian Americans are left behind in many initiatives and Asian American in the company has no voice for that or anything.
