Pros

I don't feel as though I'm micro-managed in my work that I perform. There are yearly raises right on the 12-month mark. Once you're in the door, you have access to all of the open career positions, salary ranges that Lockheed Martin offers all around the country. You can apply for these jobs. Moving to some other state might be on your own dime, though.

Cons

Only 2 weeks of vacation until you reach the 5th year. Minimal days of sick time alloted (especially when compared to Government workers). When it comes to career management - you're pretty much on your own to find the next step of your destination. Objectives are set by the employee on a yearly basis and reviewed with one's manager. However, there seems to be a lack of mentoring which would greatly benefit the employees. But, managers do get stretched thin, making the mentoring process nearly impossible. Retirement? Gone are the days of a retirement pension. Instead, a 401(k) is utilized - like most other major corporations at this point in time.

Pros

Excellent access to proprietary tools to conduct thorough issue resolution or escalation and documentation. Good desktop hardware/software, reliable 'up-time' of access to network resources to do your work. Friendly work environment. They hire generally above the norm competent and friendly people. Great team of people where knowledge is freely exchanged and help is available for difficult problems in critical situations.

Cons

Tendency to put 'yes-men' in supervisory positions to toe the corporate bottom-line. FOX news is on both monitors in the dining room. 24/7 If you are a progressive thinking person, keep it to yourself.

Pros

1. Depending on the program you're working on, there are some truly amazing things you'll be a part of developing. 2. Decent work/life balance. 3. Great people to work with.

Cons

1. Below average salary. 2. Promotions are almost non-existent. Without a dedicated manager pushing for your advancement, you will remain the same job level and pay grade for years. 3. Because of the tight security policies in place, expect to be working with very outdated software libraries, tools, etc. 4. Senior management clueless about the core technologies. 5. Over promise (knowingly) - under deliver: very typical.
