Pros

Everyone is very nice and pleasant. I worked out in nowhere land on a contract that Lockheed wasn't even the prime on. Although this was the case, they always tried to make you feel at home and connected to Lockheed. - Very good people - Everyone really liked their job - Competitive pay and great benefits!

Cons

- It seemed that some of the major advancement opportunities were given only to people with "grey hair" (that is what people told me on the inside) - Also, it seemed that you had to be on a major program to get recognized

Pros

Interesting and often challenging work. Decent compensation and benefits. Has offices everywhere so it is easy to move around. Good work/life balance (some places have 10/40 schedule).

Cons

Very bureaucratic but I suppose that is to be expected at a mega defense contractor. Career advancement can be slow. Young energetic high-performing employees are not fairly rewarded for their contributions. Big raises and promotions seem to be more about years-of-service than performance/ability.
