Pros

They do their best to treat the employee with respect, and provide interesting projects. A very large company with locations across the U.S., so opportunities to move are plentiful. Excellent leadership development program.

Cons

A defense contractor in this economy makes it hard to get decent raises and/or get promoted. Lots of layoffs in the last 3 years. Although the company was very "top heavy", the layoffs are correcting that issue but that also means less higher level positions for those trying to move up.

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
