Pros

Interesting work, good compensation, career growth potential (provided you're willing to do what you management wants, regardless of ethics/integrity)

Cons

Dishonest management and HR (esp. to it's primary customer: the US government, management has no issue committing fraud, and demands employees follow suit or risk retaliation and potentially being fired for relatively minor policy violations while ignoring major infractions reported by employees) Salary plan is not to reward for performance, yet to drive people to the "industry average"

Pros

Programs command the political power within the division. Once attached to a program, employees is likely to be a discouraged from exploring other options within ones skill set. A generalist will likely find this good. Some job stability results form this arrangement. Some support for advanced education off campus.

Cons

A specialist wanting to practice a specific skill set like digital communications or guidance and control will find it difficult to move from program to program. Job security is lost with mobility. work environment is the corporate cube village with no windows. limited access to good food resources. Plant/campus layout is dis organized. One may have to walk across the campus many times to get needed resources or attend meetings. Engineers must divert time from project goals to fix organizational failures in facilities' maintenance and materials procurement. Shops have limited access due to union labor rules. engineers unions exist in some divisions. Training for ethics and team values is condescending and juvenile.

Pros

Lockheed had good medical, dental and insurance benefits. There was quite a variety of projects and technologies due to the large size of the company.

Cons

Like most defense companies, they have been cutting expenses and that means asking employees to pay a bigger share of insurance costs. Although there are a large number of locations and opportunities, it's not always easy to move between companies and projects.
