Pros

For part-time employees (interns), Lockheed Martin pays very well and provides a lot of opportunity to learn the business and do things that typical part-time employees don't get involved in. Part-time employees were allowed to be involved in training programs and intended for full-time employees and after a certain point can receive benefits like 401k contributions and available healthcare. Job opportunities switching from part-time to full-time were abundant.

Cons

The initial salary for entry level personnel is lower than industry standard. Minimal possibility to move up faster than the standard raise/promotion schedule unless being accepted to the 'leadership development programs'.

Pros

Great benefits, flexible work schedule. An amazing opportunity to work on a variety of space missions. Experiencing an actual launch has been the most exciting part of working for the company.

Cons

Seems as though the company is losing in the battle for innovation in the aerospace industry. Definitely lacks career development. You have to play the game!
