Pros

Being a large company there is a great deal of job security. If you are interested in a non-technical career they will help you get there. If you like a corporate atmosphere this is a good environment.

Cons

The only way to advance your career is to go into some sort of management (and so everyone is pushed into that against their will). Promotions and compensation are based more on how long you have been in the workplace than your ability. Experience at other companies is valued above experience at Lockheed Martin. The benefits are becoming more and more a burden on the employees. Job duties do not tie into title or salary in any way whatsoever. Bottom line and stockholders are more important than individual employees (although this shouldn't be surprising in a large corporation).

Pros

the benefits are pretty good although they are cutting back, tuition reimbursement, working to protect our country, great people to work with

Cons

govt is cutting spending on programs, everything takes forever to accomplish, no fast turnaround on anything (except layoffs, I guess!)

Pros

Great salary and benefits and an absolute obsession with tracking every last minute of overtime. They have no problem with paying people to sit around and wait for something to do.

Cons

Absolutely no strategy for how to compete unless it involves lobbying Congress for more handouts. Managers completely immobilized by trying to cover their assess once things inevitably go wrong.
