      Pros

      Broad range of work and good people to work with. Allowed the freedom to research and develop on your own or in a collaborative type atmosphere.

      Cons

      LL still is based upon an "old school" type model with policies and procedures. Although I've seen some change in that over the last 10 years.

      Pros

      It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.

      Cons

      Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.

      Pros

      great people to work with, but not for.

      Cons

      Leadership needs to look inward and see what is wrong. If you want to get hired here you must need to know someone hire up.
