Pros

Starting pay out of college was good, at first Can have cool opportunities if in the right place at right time

Cons

Extremely difficult to differentiate yourself from being "just another number". Strict minimums for promotions, even if doing great work. Changed managers so many times I lost count. IFG is a mess. When you hire in they stick you on some "meaningful" work until you get fully cleared, 16 months is typical. Culture is atrocious, many creepy old men, absolutely no fun can be had. No swag given out to employees EVER. If you have a good idea and bring it to your manager, you simply are told "Great! Stick to your work" and it dies.

Pros

The people are great, and you can really tell most are open and embracing change. The people I work with have been here 30 years or more, and are open minded to new employees perspectives, and most are very willing to teach/help/transfer knowledge. Pay is great. Location is great in my opinion. The flexibility is worth A LOT to me. Most benefits are pretty good. My immediate management is great.

Cons

Health insurance is bad? They showed a graph that shows they promote based on their need for higher level engineers. Meaning if they have a lot of really good engineers, many will not received deserved promotions, because they only need average engineers at the time. Don't be surprised when experienced engineers leave when they hit a career wall simply because Lockheed just doesn't need someone that good.
