      UK - Great company

      Pros

      Historic and great company to work for. You have a lot of backing, and funds to play with. Great exposure to seniors if you want it. I believe LM is really what you make of it, they really love Engineering SMEs but also allow you go to out the box in your career.

      Cons

      Still very US based, and don't really know how to do business outside of US government to government sales. Still sees the UK business as immature, even though we show them up a lot of times!

      Good place to retire/hard place to move up

      Systems engineer
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lockheed Martin IS&GS, per my reckoning, is the less attractive, but stable side of the company. The contracts can be fun and the projects are big. I have met many people who I felt would be great mentors as I've hopped across projects.

      Cons

      The bureaucratic machine of IS&GS is woefully painful and lacks strong leadership. Middle management, on at least two projects,showed lack of direction that lead to delays in delivery, performance and, ultimately, loss of business. Working at a "customer site" can lead to loss of identity for on-site employees. The ability to move up within the company is subject to the performance of the contract as well as your mobility to move to other LMCO projects. I loved the work I did, I hated the games and string-along management did and it was ultimately the reason I left.

      Pros

      Good benefits for employees who have been with the company for over 10 years. Reduced benefits and retirement plan options for newer employees. Opportunities for international assignments if you want to travel.

      Cons

      As with all major government contractors, job security is only as good as the current program and contract. If a program ends (sometimes unexpectedly with the government) so does the funding and the jobs.
