Pros

If you work in their their general or health services - aside from occasional interesting clients - none.

Cons

Poor program management and leadership. In spite of lip service and "performance process" they do not encourage innovation or new approaches to management or problems. I worked for a smaller company that was purchased by Lockheed. The benefits were reduced, program management was changed and our jobs were no longer fulfilling or rewarding.

Pros

Makes products that secures national security. Average work/life balance. Working towards better flexibility. 3 weeks of vacation

Cons

Old school mentality throughout all of management. Too structured-- everything is "policy". Limited promotions, give you every excuse in the book as to why they cant give you a promotion (but report record sales every year). Limited growth opportunities, especially if you have advanced degrees.

Pros

Interesting work. Opportunities to travel. Good potential for young engineers.

Cons

Company has more interest in shareholders than employees. No respect for employees with experience and extensive knowledge base. US government can't control spending, so jobs are at risk due to sequestration.
