Pros

Job stability, job satisfaction, career growth, ability to work on new technology, flexible schedule, good vacation policy, one of the few companies with a pension plan, good co-workers, the company has a good reputation and generally is impressive to say you work for Lockheed Martin

Cons

salaries are below average in Lockheed Martin's effort to reduce labor rates to the government, Lockheed Martin has been posting record profits lately despite also announcing lower then expected pay raises, despite Lockheed Martin's recent success they have been unable to utilize any profits to help employees with rising health care costs, working for a large corporation often gives the impression that the corporation does not care about the employees, Lockheed Martin's excuse is they are no worse than the average, they tout being just average for benefits and salary as if its attractive to employees rather than trying to be better than the competition like they should be

Pros

In my light experience within LM I have been treated fairly, I feel like most work I do is valuable. It also seems to be a good place to work, when a program gets cut, upper management really attempts to facilitate moving employees instead of laying them all off.

Cons

The salaries are not as good as some of the private companies, but the job security is higher than private companies. They also have downsized their masters reimbursement programs a bit.

Pros

Large, Stable company. Lots of opportunities to move around the company. Excellent benefits packages, including a great tuition reimbursement program for engineers. Lots of resources available within the company for training and self education. Impressive projects, especially within the Aeronautics unit (i.e. Joint Strike Fighter, F-22, etc)

Cons

Mediocre pay compared to other competitors or similar corporations. Hard to move up rapidly within the organization. Slow-paced, low stress work environment. (I knew a new hire who had no real work for several months)
