Pros

Lockheed Martin Mission Services has flexible schedules and good management. I have been through three contract changes with NASA - Johnson Space Center. Sub-contractors are treated with equal respect.

Cons

Benefits are generally reduced with each contract bid, every 3 to 5 years. Pensions are now on the way out. It seems as though management just wants to make a buck. Each contract change involves, NASA farming out prime contractor employees to sub-contractors with reduce benefits without additional pay to compensate for increased medical premiums. Seems like a government game to check some compliance boxes - which is not a Lockheed Martin problem.

Pros

Good leadership development program, if you can get in. Performance reviews are structured and timely. Lots of opportunities to move to other positions in the company for career development.

Cons

It helps to be well-connected to get ahead, and definitely a must when your contract ends, if you want to stay in the company. At contract end, most employees are on their own to find other work with little or no help from management or HR. Internal hiring process is broken - you rarely hear back from bids on requisitions, which are usually wired for someone else or out of date. So it's easier to find work outside the company. No reimbursements for parking, transportation or professional memberships.
