Pros

Like others have said it's real hard to get fired. They appear to only be able to trace it back to time charging fraud. Otherwise sky's the limit if you're a slacker or a repeat harasser. Alternative facts meet alternative work. We have coworkers the play solitaire all day or spend most of the day on the can. Management promotes it's own and the meaner and nastier you are the higher you'll climb.

Cons

Benefits are a joke. Don't work here if you think you will ever get really sick and be able to pay for it. No challenging/interesting work except finding new ways to make the management feel special. Lordy knows how many times I've had to let my manager give me a 'massage'. No trust in employees to do anything right. Everything is fresh outta 1990 in the tech department. Lots of stress, tears, and fights. Good luck getting your manager to approve a flex week or 9/80! Campus is in continual decline. If you must work in Aerospace just move to Colorado.

Pros

Large scale high-profile projects (within country of residence) Good benefits. Competitive salaries.

Cons

Working for Lockheed Martin International, I figured I could apply for jobs in countries all over the world where Lockheed has a footprint. Turns out that unless you are a U.S. citizen these job openings are not made available to you. The internal job opportunity search engine automatically defaults to only display jobs available in your country of residence/employment. Any international jobs require you to be a U.S. citizen to apply. Your work e-mail is also labelled "EXPAT" in the Global Address Book, if you are not an American citizen.

Pros

Cool technology. Beautiful campus. Good salaries.

Cons

Ridicuously metrics driven. Technology company where technical ability is not valued. Employees are not valued. Manangement referrs to talent as "resources". The people doing the work that requires technical ability are the least valued.
