Pros

Mission Area supports USSOCOM's 160th Nightstalkers Rotary Wing Aircraft: MH-6M Littlebirds, MH-47G Chinooks, and MH-60M Black Hawks

Cons

1. Lockheed Martin SOF GLSS is not LM as advertized. SOF GLSS is a services contract - not a for profit division. Facilities are dilapodated and broken. Employee morale is the lowest i have ever experienced. 2. Salaries start out below std LM salaries. Mgmt's approach is to plateau your hire-in salary and drive your pay down to 80% of the grade-level pay scale or lower. 3. No career path planning, no opportunity for high performers to advance, and no ascenssion planning.

Pros

- 4 day 10 hour week shifts - Flex time availability - Occasional snacks - Friendly co-workers - Lots of room and time to grow in topics you are interested in - Tuition and Cert Reimbursement - Good PTO benefits

Cons

- Hawkish Middle and Upper Management and Heavy Corporate Atmosphere: Particularly be weary of the "Old Guard" these are your 60+ year old SWE Managers at this company. Many are out of touch with the new generation, and will put you under the table if you get in their way. There are some managers that only care about their pension and about those that do favors for them. - Questionable Ethics (please see above) despite the annual survey results that say otherwise. - Lethargic on-boarding process due to goverment restrictions: This is universal throughout the corporation and the defense industry, and gets in the way of the AGILE process. However, team-members try to mitigate it by supporting each other. - Contract switching: If you are new developer, or even experienced you are at some risk to become "loaned-out" to another team that may work in another completely different programming language or stack that you were hired for. They will try not to mention this during the interview, but it all depends on how big of a budget the manager has at the moment they hired you.
