Pros

It's a large, stable company so if you perform then you can work here for decades. There can be a lot of flexibility for working hours/schedule... but like many things at Lockheed, it really depends on your specific manager and project.

Cons

This is not the place to be for Software Engineers. Lockheed is a Systems Engineering organization with very little software engineering expertise. Software is considered a tool like Matlab... so leadership has no appreciation for good design. Most of the people writing software are educated in other disciplines (ex. Electrical, Mechanical, Aeronautical Engineering). That would be fine except for the fact that 1000's of lines of unmaintainable code are written every year.
