      Pros

      9/80 schedule. Flex schedule that allows work life balance. Innovative products that are not built anywhere else.

      Cons

      Rigid processes and culture. Business plan maintains low average base salary so difficult to get promoted unless you are female. Lots of corporate politics and bureaucracy.

      Not bad, not great

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life balance is really good. 9/80 schedule is great, gets you every other Friday off. Year end shut down. Creo is the main design tool. Nx is used for structural analysis mostly. Lockheed is based on many states and countries, so you can potentially transfer to one of those areas.

      Cons

      Dated buildings. Remote from any good food. Cafeteria is over priced, not subsidized. Cafe closes at 1pm. Can be extremely slow if you are an efficient worker. Many layers of management. You may or may not get a good manager. Clunky SAP timecard system.

      Good experience at LM SSC

      Pros

      Very happy at LM SSC so far (2.5 years). Benefits are great: 3 weeks vaca for new hires, every other Friday off, and off between Christmas and New Years. In general, there is a healthy work-life balance attitude. Of course, there are times that we've got to put in extra time to get things done, but that is on an occasional as-needed basis only. In general, I have felt respected and trusted by management, and I've been given a lot of responsibility. Also, working on vehicles destined for deep space exploration is pretty awesome, and a daily inspiration.

      Cons

      Some remnants of 'good ol boy' club attitudes around here, but LM is actively trying to become a modern, attractive company to new employees. As with every company I've ever heard of, diving into something can be a little overwhelming with limited organized training, but coworkers are generally available for support.
