Business Outlook

Pros

There is no reason to work for this company. Lockheed Martin treats its engineers like scum of the world.

Cons

Worst 12 years of my life. I would not want anybody to have to work in such a place. The management and ethics people are super nice to you wile doing every thing to fire you. I believe all people like me where systematically fired because we where vested in the retirement program. My advice to any one wanting to work in aerospace is to never consider Lockheed Martin!

Great opportunity for development

Senior systems engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

LM offers very good early career development opportunities through its Leadership Development Program. Work is very interesting and it is easy to take pride in what you do. LM SSC has a 9-80 schedule. This offers very good work-life balance. LM SSC also offers very competitive benefits.

Cons

Due to ongoing budgetary pressures, LM has responded with cost-cutting measures that includes promotion freezes. This has left lot of mid-career professionals in the lurch and looking elsewhere. Part of this process has also meant degradation of their benefits.
