Pros

- Most workers are experienced and kind - I have had mainly good managers - Feels very stable retention wise if you're in the right area - Company is FINALLY getting serious about using new technology and Agile processes

Cons

- The beauracracy can be maddening - In EO there are frequent re organizations that take up time and don't always add value - Leadership is constantly changing direction, frustrating to always start new things and not always finish things - Promotion/review process is long and frustrating

Pros

Very interesting work and projects across various areas of engineering. From aerospace to satellites to material science, some of the work being done is fascinating. Good work/life balance.

Cons

It's a massive company so at times you may feel like just a number. In my five years with Lockheed, I had multiple issues with HR. I also don't feel like they give new and young employees enough opportunities for growth or promotion. Also compensation is slightly below average for engineers compared to other companies.
