Pros

Fascinating and challenging work, and a good collaborative, respectful culture where doing the right thing always comes first. Lockheed has made great improvements lately in diversity and inclusion.

Cons

As to be expected from a large company, especially one with mostly government and other large customers, there's a lot of red tape.
