Pros

- Flexible work schedule - Most managers respect a healthy work / life balance - Lots of classified work opportunities which Lockheed will sponsor you for a clearance for. - Lockheed's size allows for mobility within the company. Build a strong network, and you can create opportunities for yourself to learn a new skill, or land a new job of interest.

Cons

- I'm sure your experience will vary from location to location, but the Valley Forge facility is an outdated and poorly maintained building. Very little is spent on the maintenance and aesthetic to the building. Just feels gross. - If you are working unclassified, your manager will most likely be remote. Some remote managers poorly equipped to manage remote teams, and have very little visibility into their teams performance or areas that require attention. This is challenging for early career employees. -Poor health benefits -No employee stock purchase program
