Pros

Wide range of career opportunities

Cons

Many levels of bureaucracy. Out of date technologies. 5-hour "gate" on overtime. If you are approved for overtime, you only get paid starting with the 6th hour of overtime you work per week. Not paid for travel time on weekends.

Pros

Lockheed has some of the best benefits of any company around. They offer an array of health care plans, a fantastic 401k program, tuition reimbursement, tons of discounts at local retailers, etc. Also, for the most part, scheduling is extremely flexible. You have to work a specified number of hours, but you can essentially work them whenever you want. Pay was good, slightly above average.

Cons

I had two major problems with Lockheed - the first is the pace of the work. Everything is EXTREMELY slow. This is an unfortunate problem due to th nature of the work. There are a lot of hoops to jump through when working on projects for the DoD. This leads to a lot of downtime. The other problem is the advancement system. It is very union-like. While you can get a little better annual raise base on your performnce, you aren't going to be promoted until you've been waiting around long enough.
