Great place to Intern

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benfits package for full time hires. Flexible work hours. Telecommuting available once with the company for 6 months. Work/life balance is being stressed by site management with the recent implementation of a 9/80 workweek. Everyone I worked with was very willing to help if I had any questions. Company is stressing building leaders to plan for the future as much of the workforce will be retiring soon.

Cons

People don't seem to be around much. Some people are so busy that they do not have time to help. Change can sometimes take time, but this is no different at many big corporations.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability, flexibilty, ability to telecommute in some jobs. The ability to move around to other jobs, locations, and roles is good. I have had the opportunity to work in several different states for Lockheed - including WA, DC, VA, FL, & TX. I have moved around in vocations as well - from software to systems, to management. There is good training here...but it depends a lot on the corporation you work for within Lockheed...they all are run very differently.

Cons

slow career path. maybe a bit to much virtual teaming...would be nice to have more $ set aside for teaming and getting people together

Business Outlook

Pros

Wide range of career opportunities

Cons

Many levels of bureaucracy. Out of date technologies. 5-hour "gate" on overtime. If you are approved for overtime, you only get paid starting with the 6th hour of overtime you work per week. Not paid for travel time on weekends.
