Pros

I work with very intelligent, and even very emotionally intelligent people.

Cons

Every aspect of corporate life that exists, exists at Lockheed. As an employee, you’re inundated with rules and red tape, political bs, and Lockheed demands and expects employees to go above and beyond yet Lockheed won’t do the same for you. It’s a great place to work for the ambitious corporate sheep. For the free thinker, the value adder, the person that asks “why?”, this is not the place for you. Common sense and logic fail here. Instead, inundation via non-value added process and meetings rules all. Lockheed does a great job obtaining nee talent, yet does a terrible job at retaining that talent. This was authored by a high performing “Significantly Exceeds” employee, suffering through the epitome of what is corporate life. Direct excerpt from a conversation with a director level leader: “The only people I see moving up anymore are the ones drinking the kool-aide.” Your performance doesn’t matter nearly as much as how great of a sheep you are.

Pros

Good pay Lots of professionals and access to technical information

Cons

Weapons manufacturer Bad fit for young engineers Legacy issues Management is tightly controlled by their budgets, making it overly complicated to fix outdated designs regardless of simplicity.
