Pros

Managers lead by being hard workers. I did see one key personnel issue addressed in a serious fashion. Lockheed Martin hires solid workers who are generally good to work with. Lockheed Martin allowed flexibility in work/life balance. Also, when I and others found ourselves needing to move to a new position, the company and managers worked very hard to place us.

Cons

I did find it hard to progress in levels and at least in comparison to current employment discussions I was underplayed. However, this could have been related to my own weaknesses.

Pros

All the benefits of a large corporation, decent pay (but I have my gripes with this), decent retirement, decent benefits. They are very accommodating when downsizing, giving you plenty of time to find another job within the company.

Cons

Benefits and perks are reduced every year. Smaller programs like gym membership reimbursement have been entirely cut in recent years. I have a rather low comp ratio, perform well, and still my raises are behind inflation. Higher education partnerships have been cut in the last few years. Most managers don't know the basics of leadership, but are really good at being nice to you in person. I don't trust the leaders and managers. I've seen employees hired from across the country, told "we have work until 20XX", then those same employees were downsized 6 months later. I've heard of managers coaxing employees to share concerns, then using those complaints against them.

Pros

Great people to work with. No slackers

Cons

Work for LM for a couple years, leave for another job and then if you want to return, do so and you will get paid what you are worth
