Pros

Solid employment (near recession-proof), strong corporate leadership, several internal courses and skills improvement seminars available.

Cons

Lockheed is a giant freight train, not easily altered from the course. Change can be incremental, slow, frustrating, and inconsistent. Not surprising, considering it's a company of ~120k+ employees from several disparate legacy and heritage locations.

Pros

Access to a myriad of experts across the company still amazes me.

Cons

Large, slow moving aero culture can be frustrating at times. Likely to be shrinking soon.

Not up to the job

Pros

Large network of talent and resources, some areas have innovative options and flexibility for employees

Cons

Cronyism, cargo cult mentality regarding buzzword business practices, absent leadership as many upper management slots are filled with short termers waiting to retire. Service delivery is decidedly below enterprise class, typically a kludgy solution dropped in place to meet an aggressive deadline with no requirements that quickly becomes a convoluted, unsupportable mess. Unwillingness to take feedback from 'lower grade', overwillingness to throw bodies at a problem with no plan of action. 50 hours a week is not enough, and the expectation is you are available at short notice 24/7. Inscrutable valuation of talent - you may be top in your field but if you don't have a 4 year degree you're held back regardless of contribution.
