Pros

There are a lot of new hires and experienced professionals. So getting a mentor and learning and gaining experiences is very easy. Employees are friendly and follow a Lockheed Martin culture.

Cons

One of the downside is the raises each year. It goes from on average between 3 to 5%. If you want a higher pay raise you will need to work hard to go up a level.

Pros

- Name recognition for your resume - Interesting problems depending on the team you are working on

Cons

- Not much work-life balance. - Benefits are not competitive when compared to similar institutions. - Depending on the team you get, you will be working with mostly legacy products which have codebases filled with insurmountable technical debt, mostly because of the high level of churn. - Fellow engineers doing just enough to not get fired, but not enough to make any substantional improvements. Frequent use of the phrases ("That's not my problem", "I don't like that person, I'm not helping that team). - No use of modern collaboration tools, still communicating back and forth through miles long email threads in 2018. - Rampant nepitism everywhere. Can be a fun excercise to trace a whole family lineage. - if your lead doesn't understand how a tool can benefit a project they won't take the time to learn.
