Pros

Was in the finance group, first in the Finance Leadership Development Program and then on to other roles within the F&BO org. Generally worked with great people, supportive managers and ethical leadership. Had one issue with a team leader who created an ethical issue, but it was addressed quickly, thoroughly and adequately. LM is an industry leader and a solid company.

Cons

Getting recognition for your accomplishments can be a challenge. You have to know when to be the squeaky wheel. The performance recognition system is very formulaic and it can take some practice to make the system work for you. Also, even if you are at the top of your game performance wise, pay raises are very modest.

Pros

Very well respected company that is engineering a brighter future. Ability to receive a masters degree and formalized training that are useful

Cons

Antiquated culture and management style. The company is going to lose a great deal of manpower as baby boomers retire and they are not equipped to attract and maintain promising young talent. There is very much a culture of the "old boys" club. Management overreacts to everything (ie if you want to work from home if there is inclement weather) but does little to provide guidance. Young talent is very much looked down upon. If you do not fit the mold of an LM employee, you will not enter the "club" and have a hard time advancing and progressing. If you do meet the mold, you will be working at LM for the rest of your career....good luck with that!

Pros

I enjoyed working with the customers and the other employees. Getting the job done required self-starting and it was good working with those people.

Cons

I wouldn't say that the management was focused on assisting the other employees. Lockheed management is good at ensuring that the other managers are well taken care of.
