Pros

Lots of opportunity and room for innovation, if you have the ability to move around well enough to find someone interested in your ideas.

Cons

Stodgy old business ways that are more bureaucratic than government and do not appreciate young employees or new thought easily.

Pros

Fun challenging work, flex time, 9/80 schedule. Lower level management are all great. Co workers are very helpful and supportive.

Cons

Bureaucratic nonsense out the wazoo. Within my first six months they simultaneously announced that our location is shutting down and that there's a freeze on transfers. Fun. I'm in a cleared position and my salary is under the local median for my level for uncleared positions.

Pros

It's a job. Probably looks good on a resume. Now I know better than to work for them.

Cons

Cheapskates on pay, benefits, raises, etc. Built on the typical Good Old Boy network, where only knowing people outside of work gets you anywhere. Filled to the brim with incompetent workers...probably because they're cheaper. Working with 80% of the workforce who doesn't know what they're doing is very frustrating for those who do know what they're doing. All of the typical giant corporate contracting B.S. but multiplied to the max. Good luck getting anywhere/promotion without changing jobs and moving to a new state. Poor job availability. Worse than the government. If you worked for the government before and thought to yourself you had no idea how they managed to function, Lockheed is worse somehow.
