Pros

Lockheed is stable in an unstsable economy. Because of it's size, we are able to weather problems in an unsettling time. When a program is cancelled, we attempt to shift employees to another project. We'd rather keep employees than lose them. That is partially biased for working for LMSSC in Huntsville, AL, but I assume that all locations would share a similar ethic.

Cons

Lockeed Martin, like many large organizations, has a dual career ladder. The technical side is somewhat short and pointy - not much room for growth there as "there can be only one." The management side has more opportunity, but once you cross into functional leadership, you're taken away from all things technical. There is a 1/2 ladder associated with the techncal side (technical management), but it's also very competitive. Really, it's a stable place to work but you don't expect to stay here for 30 years and get to the top.

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.
