      Pros

      Good leadership development program, if you can get in. Performance reviews are structured and timely. Lots of opportunities to move to other positions in the company for career development.

      Cons

      It helps to be well-connected to get ahead, and definitely a must when your contract ends, if you want to stay in the company. At contract end, most employees are on their own to find other work with little or no help from management or HR. Internal hiring process is broken - you rarely hear back from bids on requisitions, which are usually wired for someone else or out of date. So it's easier to find work outside the company. No reimbursements for parking, transportation or professional memberships.

      Pros

      The flexibility in getting your required hours in. The excellent tuition reimbursement package as well pension and 401K matching. The company provides multiple growth opportunities for its employees and the ability to rotate around through multiple lines of business and programs. Working for the premier defense company allows for exciting work experiences that one would not normally get through his or her job. Plus, all employees know that their work directly impacts the national security of this country. Your work certainly feeds the soul and makes the hard work all that more rewarding.

      Cons

      The huge bureaucracy and multiple levels of management can be quite a drag on work production and program efficiency. The range in the quality of managers is rather wide. It sometimes begs the question as to how this person or that came into the position that they hold.

      Pros

      Great career opportunities and great upper management. Benefits package is better than most competitors. The management is very hesitant to let anyone go. Layoffs are extremely rare. Even with the stock market crashing, Lockheed Martin stock is doing great and my 401k is still looking good. The management here is worthy of trust and make every effort to be as fair as possible. Company offers ability and flexiblity to work from home which helps a great deal in work/life balance situations. Thanks.

      Cons

      Cost of living in the Rockville, MD area is quite high. Other than that the company and it's management are great.
