Pros

Not sure what to say

Cons

Old tech and methodologies. Lots of people that like to talk and sound like they know what they are talking about because they think everyone is as full of it as them. But those that do know can spot the bs. For example, I showed some guy what I was working on, he told me he didn't understand my code because he was a C# guy. I told him my code was C# and he replied: "oh! I thought you said you said you where using .Net". Go figure. By the way, the guy pay grade is above mine and I am a Snr Software Engineer. Poor guy is not even able to pseudo code himself out of a paper bag. Shows how missed used the title is.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, easy-going people, and important work. Lockheed Martin is a monster-sized organization. Your experience in one organization can be vastly different compared to one across the hall. As such, you must think of Lockheed as multiple smaller companies rather than one large organization.

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy. Since its a defense company they, don't really prioritize skillsets instead of a breathing body. Meaning you'll have a few excellent developers and the rest are just in the way people so they can bill the government a ludicrous amount. This has been my experience with 3 different teams so far., you'll probably come to learn the same.
