Pros

Good benefits, decent hours if not forced to work unpaid overtime. Good people at the working level.

Cons

Senior Management that is trying to hold on to past glories in a defense industry turned upside down by falling defense spending. Management will not do whatever it takes to win business. Always afraid of shareholder reaction if profits fall below expectations. Would rather give up business than work on contracts that keep people employed but with lower profits. Highly bureaucratic and top heavy, with commensurate high overhead costs compared to competitors.

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.
