      Great company to work at for a motivated engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of smart people to work with, flex schedule and good work life balance, amazing 401k (4% company match, extra 6% automatic). Ok health insurance. Many options to choose projects to work on.

      Cons

      Not really a con, but if you are not motivated and lazy you can get lost unnoticed.

      Great job security, limited job growth

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great job security, especially if you have a clearance. I started my career with Lockheed and I'm glad that I did. The engineering is rigid and process driven, but that can be beneficial in some ways when you're a young engineer

      Cons

      Engineering environment is incredibly stale. If you work classified programs then expect to work with old technology or build everything in-house. Any software libraries you want to use have to vetted by the security team (takes months or years). The longer you're in defense contracting, the more valuable you are to defense, but you become useless anywhere else because your skills and tech familiarity will slowly degrade. They rarely fire people, so find plenty of underachievers that are just productive enough to keep their job.
