Not worth the career experience

Pros

Great coworkers, annual bonus (which is small compared to companies like Thales, but better than nothing). Benefits are decent.

Cons

Former department played favourites and it negatively affected the team as a whole. Morale was in the toilet because of them and probably still is. Even other departments treaded lightly as to not upset them if employees wanted to move around/outside of that department. They didn't give promotions due to sick leave (illegal) or because they felt there was a line-up for that position (when in reality, they likely didn't want to be shown up by the amazing employee who should've gotten the job). Lockheed is a huge corporation and leaders make well over $300K per year plus annual bonus, but they pay their employees peanuts. Don't settle for the pennies they'll offer you. Their pay bands are also a secret - just another way to prevent employees from being empowered.

Pros

Benefits are pretty good. Pay is at market rate for salary and well above market rate for hourly.

Cons

The union runs everything here. Management has a hard time holding people accountable because it is more likely they will get fired than the union represented employee.
