Pros

Diverse workforce. Strong military pride and customer interaction. Excellent education reimbursements. Global presence. Open door policy with any leader at any level. Health rewards program is generous, but expensive.

Cons

Quantity of years on the job vs quality of years is looked at first and foremost. Preference almost always given to candidates with more years on the job and strong military background. HR is very slow to move on internal postings. It takes anywhere from 2-9+ months to hear anything when you post online. Poor merit raises despite strong financial performance with successful and above ratings at year-end review. Ruthless bell curve distribution. Uneven distribution of workloads across departments and lack of communication across organizations.

Pros

Competitive pay, great benefits, travel reimbursements are all pros of Lockheed Martin. One of my favorite things about this job was the 9-80 schedule. (All employees get ever other Friday off.) This of course means longer work weeks, but the extra hours are worth the three-day weekends!

Cons

The lack of diversity is a weak area for this company. It is highly dominated by Caucasian men. There are few minorities in leadership roles throughout the company. This limits growth in my opinion. *For the purpose of this post, "minorities" refers to ethnicity and gender.

Pros

The pay is very good. I had a great manager and a positive, safe, professional work place. We where in a high security environment so there were a lot of restrictions on ourselves personally ( understandable ). I worked in Satellite Ops so career you had a job for life as long as the satellite system was active.

Cons

With Satellite Ops, if your satellite system dies out, so does your career. Who/What would hire you if your an expert on XYZ satellite and XYZ satellite system is decommisioned. It's a great place to work, and they look out for their people. Promotion, nope, we had guys in the office at their spots for 15+ years so your cemented into your slot for life.
