Pros

Lockheed has some of the best benefits of any company around. They offer an array of health care plans, a fantastic 401k program, tuition reimbursement, tons of discounts at local retailers, etc. Also, for the most part, scheduling is extremely flexible. You have to work a specified number of hours, but you can essentially work them whenever you want. Pay was good, slightly above average.

Cons

I had two major problems with Lockheed - the first is the pace of the work. Everything is EXTREMELY slow. This is an unfortunate problem due to th nature of the work. There are a lot of hoops to jump through when working on projects for the DoD. This leads to a lot of downtime. The other problem is the advancement system. It is very union-like. While you can get a little better annual raise base on your performnce, you aren't going to be promoted until you've been waiting around long enough.

Pros

Lockheed Martin opened many doors for me. LM had a comprehesive intern program that encouraged students to be eager about all facets of their internship. I loved every minute.

Cons

Returning to LM was hard my third year. Althought I had two years experience under my belt and great reviews from my two previous years, many othe managers were stressed on GPA's. I got a 3.0, drove 200 miles to interview and did not get in, where as my 1st and 2nd year got in w/o an interview and w/o a review of my transcript -- and my grades were lower back then!

Pros

Great place to gain experience if you're just starting off. There are lots of locations around the US and even around the world to move around in if you want. Get to work on interesting projects from time to time.

Cons

Lockheed wins some really cool contracts but then manages to handle the execution of them very poorly. There are frequently the "wrong people" making all the important decisions which result in budget problems, wrong equipment being purchased, focus on status reports over actually performing work.
