Pros

Do nothing and get paid including overtime.

Cons

Nepotism, politics, useless engineers, all designed to milk the government. If it were a civilian company instead of military/defense, it would have long gone bankrupt.

Pros

Lockheed has excellent benefits. 9/80 schedule and great 401k contributions. Nobody holds you down from excelling and in my experience if you perform you will be rewarded. I have heard complaints that promotions are slow and raises are low. This is not true. Raises are slow if you are average. Their are many smart people at Lockheed so standing out is tough. I will say that there are many older employees so in the near future there is going to be a massive opportunity to advance.

Cons

My only real gripe is that for a major company the IT budget is awful. It's obvious the first place to cut money from a gov contract is IT.

Pros

I do enjoy the Work/Life balance here. We also get paid on a weekly basis. All employees get time off around the holidays. We work on 9/80 schedule.

Cons

It's seems like the time needed for a promotion takes a lot longer than necessary. The average compensation package seems lower than national average.
