Pros

- Flexible work schedule (4/10, Flex 40, etc) - 3.5% raise (more if you're a top employee) + bonus every year - Good health, vision, dental insurance - Great 401k match (LM will match 50% of the first 8% you contribute, totaling 12%) - Slow and steady career growth (if you're into that kind of thing) - Easy to transition to other teams if you want different work depending on the time of the year, there are many opportunities to learn new stuff - LM will pay some amount towards a Master's degree if you want one - Modern and clean offices/locations

Cons

- People transition off of teams like flies and there are usually no back fills (it makes sense if you understand that one of the only ways to get a significant pay increase in LM is to jump to another team/leave the company) - Promotions do not increase your current salary by 10%+ unless you're a top employee, it's a fixed number (MES base salary has been 96k for the past couple of years with no inflation adjustment) - Forget about negotiating your salary to HR unless your manager does it for you and backs you up at the same time

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
