Stable but Annoying

Pros

A lot of stability, they do want you to stay there forever. The people surrounding you have been there either a few years or 40 which means there is a ton of expertise. Everyone is generally very kind and polite. The resources and facilities are huge, as well as their knowledge base. The best part is the flexible hours. 40 hours in a week and basically whenever you want. It would be hard to revert back to working on Fridays now.

Cons

It is strange when they announce we achieved billions in profits but we only got 95% of our bonus because some department didn't meet their deliverables, even though the rest of us did. When we asked what was our incentive then to work harder they told us it was an honor and privilege to be an engineer and we should have an intrinsic satisfaction in just doing a good job. Also the bureaucracy of the company is staggering, it is difficult to complete almost any task without jumping through hoops.

It’s fine

Pros

Pay appears to be competitive, especially considering my minimal experience as an engineer when I was hired.

Cons

Most federal holidays are termed as “personal observances” (MLK day, Juneteenth, Veteran’s Day) that you are more than welcome to use your own PTO to have off. It is apparent that Lockheed Martin struggles to bring in/retain new talent, since even a relatively inexperienced worker can be handed large responsibilities very quickly. Outdated engineering principles hamper progress, with little room for individuals to voice concern in any meaningful way (git branch workflow is actively discouraged, in favor of “Just work on and push to Master since that’s faster”)
