Business Outlook

Pros

Major programs and advancement opportunities. Potential for long-term career with programs sometimes running decades. Various U.S. and international locations, providing the opportunity to relocate. Stable company with highly experienced employees.

Cons

The defense industry is cyclical with war efforts. Lockheed Martin consolidates and closes facilities during market downturns, which is understandable, but the closures may be perceived to be politically based instead of due to sound business decisions.

Get yourself selected for a leadership development program and you are on your way. Also, tools are provided for in-house skill development, as well as tuition reimbursement for university degrees and occasionally, there are exciting projects on which to work.

Because this is a business model that doesn't lend itself to producing a new product or service that can be widely sold, advancement can be uneven as there is not a product line to with which to grow.
