      Pros

      Lockheed has excellent benefits. 9/80 schedule and great 401k contributions. Nobody holds you down from excelling and in my experience if you perform you will be rewarded. I have heard complaints that promotions are slow and raises are low. This is not true. Raises are slow if you are average. Their are many smart people at Lockheed so standing out is tough. I will say that there are many older employees so in the near future there is going to be a massive opportunity to advance.

      Cons

      My only real gripe is that for a major company the IT budget is awful. It's obvious the first place to cut money from a gov contract is IT.

      Pros

      I do enjoy the Work/Life balance here. We also get paid on a weekly basis. All employees get time off around the holidays. We work on 9/80 schedule.

      Cons

      It's seems like the time needed for a promotion takes a lot longer than necessary. The average compensation package seems lower than national average.

      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.
