Pros

Good benefits, work/life balance, lots free time at work

Cons

Lots of high level 60-80 year old people sitting around doing nothing while collecting a $$$ check. You'll see people on eBay, solitaire world, or Youtube. I've received a message on youtube stating "Too much traffic from your IP address, please verify some security info" hilarious!

Pros

Good benefits, work schedule (9/80), flex time. Interesting defense work. Most fellow workers good to work with, communicate well. Managers do a decent job of sharing specific expertise across projects. Willing to offer overtime if needed. Willing to fund education for those that want to improve.

Cons

Low raises last 5 years, despite good reviews. No training funds for self-improvement during rare periods of idle time between projects. Management bids tended to be overly optimistic on new technology bids. Formal performance reviews are painful, employees asked for more informal feedback, got more frequent formal reviews instead. If you really want to be recognized, work on a project in trouble.

Pros

Lockheed's strength is that it is the largest US government contractor. It has abundant resources, jobs, etc because it is so large. There is plenty of room for advancement or different career paths if you make your career here.

Cons

Because Lockheed is so large, there is a chance for you to feel lost and disconnected because you are just another small cog in the huge machine.
