Pros

If you get into the right Engineering Leadership Development program (the right location) then you’ll get great experience with rotating to different jobs, taking development classes and getting your free Masters.

Cons

My ELDP program had very limited rotations to select from and you could t find one outside of your immediate location. Also, working in a classified environment is no fun! No cell phone, sometimes no internet! Wry restricive. They also take a long time to promote. It seems like they go through staff reductions every few years as well. Management is pretty bad there as well. There are many many layers of useless managers. Here also isn’t a clear track to the higher up positions. Th pay is also not brynorofictive unless you’re experienced coming from the outside into a higher up role. The yearly bonus system is a joke and your salary won’t move very much in th average year. This was from the King of Prussia area so maybe it’s better elsewhere!

Pros

Flexible environment, well above average benefits, 90/80 work schedule, interesting products, diverse workforce, it's very large so there are lots of geographic locations and programs to choose from.

Cons

Not all business units are created equal. LM Space needs some corporate intervention to clean up their rotten culture of extreme cronyism. No career growth. Availability of promotions and development programs are entirely based on knowing the right people, which means many high performers get stuck and unable to progress. All the opportunities go to the same people. The age discrimination has gotten very blatant, again.

Pros

You get 3 weeks of vacation coming in the door, 40 hours of sick time, and 9/80 work week.

Cons

Lockheed is a good company to work, but don't work for F-35 Subcontract Management in Fort Worth. There's not training you are just left to figured out on your own. It's definitely a matrix environment and you spend majority of your day updating matrix. The managers in the F35 program are unprofessional, that gossip about their employees. When you need to address an issue with your manager or talk privately there is no privacy, any or everybody can hear what's being said. Some Managers in the F35 program delegate their work to you and can't explain how to do it. The environment is very unprofessional, especially managers, it feel like you are in high school. Low pay it's just not worth it for what you deal with everyday. Don't work in F-35 Subcontract Management, it's terrible over there, just about everyone is new and miserable.
