Pros

Good Company Overall, Great Benefits, tons of opportunity to learn and grow within your career. You get to work on some really cool things.

Cons

Performance review and raises are standardized corporate wide through out all the divisions. This sort of sets a max 6% raise per year unless your manager can get corporate to sign off on higher raises (which is very difficult). Therefore, if you took a pay cut or took a lower salary just to get in the door you will have a hard time getting proper compensation through hard work alone. They will only give you raises outside the once a year review if you provide HR with another off from another company

Pros

wealth and depth of knowledge base, fast paced work environment, exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies

Cons

Extremely profitable cost center for Lockheed Martin which translates into stagnant salary and promotion growth. Frustrating performance management system which forces management to punish bottom 20% of workforce. Over the years all the low performers have left so now high performance employees get punished by the system on a yearly basis.

Pace of work and projects can be slow. While there are many talented individuals to work with there are also some less desirable.
