Pros

The people are great, and you can really tell most are open and embracing change. The people I work with have been here 30 years or more, and are open minded to new employees perspectives, and most are very willing to teach/help/transfer knowledge. Pay is great. Location is great in my opinion. The flexibility is worth A LOT to me. Most benefits are pretty good. My immediate management is great.

Cons

Health insurance is bad? They showed a graph that shows they promote based on their need for higher level engineers. Meaning if they have a lot of really good engineers, many will not received deserved promotions, because they only need average engineers at the time. Don't be surprised when experienced engineers leave when they hit a career wall simply because Lockheed just doesn't need someone that good.

Pros

More focus on engineering, and not finance, than other large competitors. You will be happier working here as an engineer. There are young people in important positions. It gives you hope that, one day, you too can be there before you hit your 50's.

Cons

Very little sick-leave hours. You are forced to take 30 minutes of lunch time even when you can eat your lunch in 5 minutes.
