Pros

Lockheed Martin offers a great amount of security and professional growth for a wide variety of career paths due to its size and reach - there are Lockheed Martin facilities in nearly every state and many other countries. Awesome benefits compared to other companies, especially when it comes to relocation to another LM unit. Ease of transfer as well - just find a place you want to live and odds are LM is there already.

Cons

The company is extremely large and tends to move slower than a startup, so if someone is seeking a fast-paced environment, they may not be pleased with this company. The company is also very "politically correct", due to lawsuits and fines, so creativity and the x-factor of workplace synergy can sometimes be stifled.

Pros

Name recognition goes a long way as the #1 Defense Contractor in the US and/or the world. Lots of people to network from and contracts are added every week.

Cons

Such a huge organization that it does not flow well between branches. It is almost 5-6 giant companies under one roof basically. At first I thought it would be easy to move around the company, but that's completely false - they will pigeon hole you to a contract as long as possible. The HR people are just shining their PM's shoes and rather not rattle the boat. So as long as you're billable, expect 1-2% yearly raises, no bonus and minimum training. My advice is to fight hard up front for your rate because it will not go up much year after year.
