Pros

Large company with opportunities within. Base pay was competitive. Tuition reimbursement.

Cons

- Upper management was ineffective and directing subordinates to collaborate and there was a re-org or change in leader every several months. - Big company with many processes that slowed down efficiency - Benefits kept going downhill, i.e. moved over to high deductible health insurance plan.

Pros

Good company. Good pay. There are many growth opportunities if you are willing to try something new, relocate, learn new skills. If you want to just coast, you will never move up. New HR initiatives will now pay for certificates and a wide variety of training. They value training current employees much more now. Great opportunities at lockheed for those that are ambitious. Have always been treated with respect. Never had to deal with office politics. Always been rewarded on my effort, which is great.

Cons

It is difficult to get rid of deadbeat employees. There are many employees who coast to retirement. Too little low scoring employees on evaluations. Lockheed tends to let low performers hang on for decades. Need to clean house more often. Many facilities are terrible. Look like the DMV or 1970's furniture, cublicles. Major problem for the next generation of employees. Too often, tenure is valued more than actual technical skills. This is changing, but is still an issue. A young employee may have incredible coding skills, but is denied promotion because the culture tends to only give promotions every 3-5 years.

- Good work/life balance.

Cons

- Dont expect to change any of the culture. Will try to promote newer tech but can never get it pushed through - No telecommuting. - Plant is ancient and has not been renewed. - Difficult to get pay raises for hard work. - Treated like another number. - Parking is horrible and will take you an hour to get to your desk.
