Pros

-Many of the engineers you will have the pleasure of working with are truely top notch -You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects

Cons

-Working on a variety of projects means you are failing to develop a core competency in your discipline which makes it difficult to get experience that can be applied elsewhere -Lockheed Martin is a Matrix Managed Organization. This means that at any one time you will have 3+ managers. In practice, this means the manager figuring out when you should get promoted or raises will have no real insight to what work you actually do. -The "pay for performance" is a joke. Management seems to rotate high and low ratings so everyone advances in pay at about the same rate over the long term, regardless of performance or actual contributions
