Pros

Strong company with good benefits package and job security. There are occasional opportunities to work on a project with reach and creative flexibility. The company tries to provide well for the continuing training and talent development of employees, through tutorial sites, conferences, etc.

Cons

The physical environment is unappealing, you work in a windowless box. The daily project fare is pretty stale and repetitive, as well as standard corporate mandated trainings and staff meetings. The direct management of the creative team functions rather more like administrators than creative directors.

Lockheed Martin is not for everyone

Pros

Staff are really smart and dedicated to the mission of the company. Manager level and below employees are very willing to work across functions and share information. They are willing to go the extra mile.

Cons

The leadership (director and above) does not seem to understand how to motivate and engage their employees. HR does not listen to the business concerns, but rather believes they know best. The HR function seems to always want to control the message and not let the business functions lead the charge.

Pros

Great benefits, flexible work schedule. An amazing opportunity to work on a variety of space missions. Experiencing an actual launch has been the most exciting part of working for the company.

Cons

Seems as though the company is losing in the battle for innovation in the aerospace industry. Definitely lacks career development. You have to play the game!
