      Nepotism at its finest

      Pros

      The salaries are phenomenal. It's the only way they get people to stay there, because they are all miserable otherwise.

      Cons

      Not a very family oriented company. They favor ex-military, and if you work there, you can get your entire family in the door easily. Also, once you're hired your performance doesn't matter because they never fire. Because of that, those who are hard workers suffer. SI&T , Training and Technical Documentation, and Security (IT) are the worst departments.

      Pros

      not overworked flexible schedule interesting products good public reputation tuition reimbursement program

      Cons

      declining industry (people in the US are tired of spending so much on defense) highly secretive annual review system where 70% of employees get the same small raise each year few promotions overall atmosphere of mediocre / sub-par engineers who just want a paycheck management will routinely lie to you very high attrition medical benefits were replaced by a cheap HMO plan under Aetna. no stock purchase program unless you are an exec.

      Enjoyable internship experience, but not guaranteed that I'll return

      Pros

      I was one of 50 interns at Lockheed Martin Space Systems summer 2010. In speaking with many of them, I'll point out that our experiences were not the same. I don't believe one could generalize the "Lockheed Martin internship experience." I know of interns whose managers brought them in w/o a clear assignment in mind. My experience was quite the opposite. My manager knew exactly what he recruited me for, and the work was lined up for me the moment I walked in. In fact, I couldn't truly finish it all over the course of the summer, but I think that was expected. It was technical, required courses from my major (EE), and was certainly "real." By that I mean it was integrated into the larger project of my group, and not tossed aside after I left. My experience was a good one: -good pay -good work -good location -friendly people to work with -great manager -opportunities to learn (they sent me to philly for training!) -opportunities to network

      Cons

      Here's the tough part: I was only so-so on the work by the end of the summer. That was due to the nature of the group in which I interned. I think a lot of work is like that at Lockheed, or any large (defense) company. You have to hunt to get the interesting stuff. other cons -cafeteria food was meh -they'll bring me back for more blah work
