      Pros

      Flexible shifts while not being micro-managed. I've worked at Lockheed Martin for a total of 12 years. I had to leave the company for a year to get my salary up to par with my peers. The company loves to hire young engineers at low ball salaries but then again what company doesn't

      Cons

      Health care insurance is starting to slip. In years past an individual had several options for medical coverage but that has changed. You know have very little choice as something called the Total Health Plan has been instituted that is what the company wants all employees to go to. In the past three years I've seen my choices for plans go from five to two and the plan costs to increase by about 25%.

      Job security, little overtime, tons of process, incredibly large software systems.

      Pros

      Lockheed provides a secure job. Many employees have worked here for over 10 years. I have worked here for 7 years, and have never worked overtime. They are flexible with work schedules - I work four 10 hour days per week. They are always well funded, so I usually don't have to cut corners in my work or step over trash in the hallways. The software development is usually interesting because the company focuses on large scale, high tech national defense products.

      Cons

      Process, Process, and more process. Its hard to sneeze without filling out some spreadsheet form and submitting it to a committee. For the most part, you don't have much freedom in choosing tools or design approach. However, if you are very passionate about changing something, you can go through all the red tape to make it happen - Ive done it. They just make it very difficult. Also, since the programs are very large, you become a very small cog in a very large device. So, you learn very little about how the rest of the world (real world?) does software development.
