Pros

Tons of leadership training, ability to transfer within the company, solid and clear path to promotion, especially at junior levels. Met some great managers and engineers. Strongly motivate leaders to mentor others and it is a team atmosphere, not competitive within. Definitely recommend, especially to young career folks or those who like the structure and stability of a large company. Plus the stock has been killing it lately in the market.

Cons

Federal budgets are declining and therefore LM budgets too - they have been tightening belt and doing layoffs. Not a fast pace of change. Depends on what work you do and what you're interested in, but I never really liked the whole "blowing stuff up" part of the company.

Pros

Supporting projects that are a benefit to the United States gives you a feeling of pride in your job. LM has a secure and safe working environment.

Cons

LM is behind the technology curve and is often stuck in useless processes that add costs to projects. Corporate culture is still stuck in the Cold War era. When government budgets are cut, long term employees suffer. Business portfolio needs more diversity.
