Excellent, ethical company

Pros

There are several opportunities to change jobs frequently if this is what you enjoy. Contracts come and go which may be a CON for some. If you have been identified as a high-potential leader, adjacent opportunities will surface. Lockheed has a history of innovation and developing cutting edge technology; think: Mars Rover, F35, Cyber Security and many more. Probably some of the smartest people I know work at Lockheed. LM is also the most ethical company I have ever worked for and while there may be examples otherwise will deliver what it commits to customers. I have seen them lose millions on contracts to meet deliveries where others may walk or deliver half-baked solutions.

Cons

Lockheed is a typical fortune 50 business with a large bureaucratic system. Getting things done can be difficult although this has improved over the years as portions of the company have contracted due to smaller government budgets. Lockheed is very structured with a lot of individuals in support functions which could be seen as a PRO for some.

Pros

Lockheed Martin has to be the top defense contractor to work for in the country. They establish the baselines which all others follow from Capture Management, Program Management, Engineering practices, to the finance world. I will say the thing that most impressed me is the opportunitee to learn and be mentored by quality people. I would have never left had it not been for a family situation.

Cons

At some of the customer sites, the working conditions are not ideal. The company also tends to be quite conservative on the business development side.
