Pros

Large company with many options. Company has respect in the workforce. Decent, though not outstanding, benefit package. They have many good people working there that will support you even if there is a lack of support from senior mngt. Good education benefits.

Cons

Higher level mngt give no support to employees. No follow through on promised promotions, no support when contract ends, they just dump you. Salaries tend not to be competitive, Senior mngt has very poor communication with employees, lack of direction in many fields (especially healthcare it).

Pros

It is fulfilling to contribute to the defense of the United States. You may have access to technologies and projects that just don't exist in the private sector. Usually there is a good emphasis on work life balance. It is a huge company that has a lot of interesting projects. Lockheed makes missiles, satellites, ships, and the best military jets in the world. The benefits are above average. In general the people you work with are very patriotic and nice. There is a sense of pride in working for Lockheed Martin and you generally won't be ashamed you work for them.

Cons

You will see firsthand how much waste, inefficiency, and fanboy jingoism exists in the defense industry In the non-defense sector Lockheed would be eaten for lunch. Too bloated, too full of itself.

Pros

Fun work envrionment, easy to get along with colleagues. The cubicles are spacious and are grouped nicely together to converse with other employees. There wasn't a manager always looking over my shoulder, and the tasks weren't given, I had to come up with them on my own. This really inspired me to think outside of the box and recognize a need that wasn't yet identified. My manager gave me great kudos and now the report I created is used on a massive scale. It's nice to have your work complimented!

Cons

May work long hours, no OT for Direct employees, pleanty of OT for indirect!
