Business Outlook

Pros

Lockheed Martin is a very diverse company with excellent benefits. Of the places that I have worked, Lockheed is the only place that I have not complained about low salary or poor compensation.

Cons

For advancement Lockheed places heavy emphasis on networking. In theory, this may appear to be the proper approach, but in reality it is not. This concepts lends to favoritism versus technical knowledge. As it has been said on numerous occassions "it is not what you know, but who you know".

Pretty good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

I have enjoyed working here and, although the economy tanked, there are still many interesting projects. I find it personally rewarding to know I am working on something that may help my country someday.

Cons

It is true that it's hard to get promoted when you get to mid-level unless you are part of the "in" crowd, but it's slowly getting better. The new medical benefits are really horrible, especially if you have a family. There is a definite reluctance to embrace change of any sort, especially if the change will increase productivity...
