Pros

LMC is great, if you are a technical person or working a program. If you are the family member of a long time employee or one who is high up in the management or you work in a headquarters location, its a great place to work. The variety of types of work performed by the company is also good.

Cons

the changed benefit plan is horrible and there is almost NO ability to get a promotion in the job you currently perform. LM sets job categories/levels by the type of work the function will perform. However, due to mass layoffs, everyone is doing much more than they ever agreed to do when they took the job initially. And, since they NEVER promote based on current job performance, you have to apply to work for another dept or manager in order to move up. And now, not many new positions are posted so no one can even apply to transfer and move up. The PRS system is a joke and they've almost eliminated completely any monetary awards for hardwork.

Pros

Working with Lockheed you do get every other Friday off and generous amounts of vacation and holidays.

Cons

Everything is about the specific person that you know. People only promote people that are friends with the higher level management. You have to kiss butt to get to the top. Real talent isn't recognized. All 0-5 year employees leave for higher pay, more responsibility, and better management.
