Pros

Security Clearance Great pay out of undergrad (because of shift differential) Lots of other young/recent grads Smart people Advancement opportunities (if you like satellite operations) NEVER bring work home with you - you'll go to jail if you do! 8 hours per day... and that's it!! Great hours/benefits

Cons

Shift Schedule - The rotating shift schedule was tough. It's hard for some to stay healthy becuase of the hours, eating habits, etc. And bye bye to half your weekends! The company is HUGE and obviously pretty silo-ed. If you want to go somewhere else after your 18th month stint it's not like your boss can call his buddy over in a different business unit to help you out. I thought the work was incredibly boring. Many of my peers LOVED it and wanted to stay in highly technical satellite operations for the rest of the career, never seeing the light of day, traveling, etc. I think I'm almost too much of a mover/shaker for a job like this.

Pros

Work is great, 4x10 schedule is perfect...

Cons

It's far. I live over 60 miles and everyday in person is hell drive.

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.
