Pros

Great company. Takes good care of their employees. Flexible work times. Reasonably good pay, benefits, vacation, retirement plans, health plans, etc.

Cons

Hard to move between programs. rising through the ranks is also quite harder in software engineering roles. Not much variety of projects in Herndon, VA location. This location is treated as an annex, appendage to the entire Lockheed Martin corporation.
