Lockheed Martin was a pretty good place to work for nearly 25 years

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lockheed had good medical, dental and insurance benefits. There was quite a variety of projects and technologies due to the large size of the company.

Cons

Like most defense companies, they have been cutting expenses and that means asking employees to pay a bigger share of insurance costs. Although there are a large number of locations and opportunities, it's not always easy to move between companies and projects.

Not for software engineers right out of school

Business Outlook

Pros

As a software engineer right out of school, you'll likely look like a rockstar and feel like a rockstar and be rewarded as a rockstar

Cons

You probably won't be doing anything related to broader software engineering industry and practices.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has high integrity. The people are what make the job great. Front line managers make or break the job.

Cons

Work/life balance was off kilter. Company promoted work/life balance and then quietly back away from that jargon. Morale suffers when we can't spend time with our families and remember why we are working.
