Pros

It's a paycheck, but only if you're desperate.

Cons

1. Bad management has fostered a shark tank mentality. 2. What was once the leading firm for aerospace design/ development now has employees scraping to get charge numbers for every six- minute interval. 3. New employees are left to scramble to understand the work, because no useful design artifacts are kept. 4. Fighter jets with spaghetti code. 5. Management by intimidation. 6. Leads who have risen solely by attrition, with no real skills. 7. If you have an other-than-pearly-white skin color I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere. 8. The three-inch roaches in the bathroom (Yes, really!) aren't the worst vermin. (But, keep your clothes up off the floor when doing your business! You don't want a hitchhiker. ) 9. Young engineers: Don't count on getting useful experience here. Watch your back!

Good company, bad role

Pros

- great 401k match, if you contribute 8% the company contributes 10% - 4 day work week (10 hours a day) - Flexible hours - Interesting technologies to work with

Cons

- Working fully in person in a classified area, with no remote flexibility - the classified areas have no windows, and not seeing the sun all day, takes a toll after a while, especially in the winter - limited career opportunities, management seems to put you where they need you not what you want to do - in my experience high employee turnover - slow to promote excelling workers, have to meet a time-served requirement - Rural area, not much to do - personally, I feel like I am not learning as much as I would like

Pros

The culture and people at Lockheed Martin space is outstanding, I felt welcomed since my first day. The learning opportunity has been amazing as well.

Cons

The main negative I’ve found so far is it’s very slow moving.
