Pros

Average Pay and compensation, not bad for the industry but also not great. Relatively secure job, you can work here the rest of your career doing the bare minimum. Work life balance can be good, gets bad once you get more senior.

Cons

Pay/compensation isn't related to performance really, only matters a small degree. The future isn't looking so good for parts of the company. Company performance is tied to the US Gov't, so it goes up and down on a pretty predictable schedule. If your a hard worker who really wants to advance your career, you reach your limit pretty much after 5 yrs. The road to a Director or VP is at least a 20 year commitment.

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.
