      Started well, but I would not suggest this place for people who enjoy working in teams without having to watch your back

      Pros

      When you have a good team & good leadership, it is a great place to work. When the supervisors and team leaders are taking care of their people while getting the job done, goals are accomplished and customers are happy. Looks good on a resume!

      Cons

      There are a number of people who are very political. Certain people will work to get rid of you if they see you as competition. Long work hours and long rambling meetings reduce the effectiveness of teams

      Pros

      Flexible work hours - rarely a day past 5pm, every other Friday off, can work from home Tons of vacation/float hours that accrue, you do not lose them. Lockheed really does advocate a work/life balance. For the most part, work is challenging and rewarding Very smart people work at Lockheed, you will learn a lot. Hard company to get into, but once in, Lockheed is a company you can stay at your entire career Good recognition if you work hard. Review system is decent - if you work hard, you will be rewarded. Good tuition reimbursement system for those that want to pursue a post-grad degree

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic, very decentralized, very "slow" organization. Not a lot of opportunity for vertical movement in the company. Lots of employees have been at Lockheed 20-30 years in the same position and just want to be left alone to do their job. No focus on training other than compliance training (ethics, sexual harassment). Seperation of duties is taken to the extreme at Lockheed; a lot of time is spent waiting on others to complete tasks so that you can get your job done. Masters degree is required if you want any type of leadership position - no exceptions.
