Pros

Lockheed Martin is involved in some of the most interesting projects in the world. There are countless opportunities to explore new career goals and grow as a professional. Many of the jobs are very rewarding, and play a crucial role in the stability of the U.S. and its allies.

Cons

With the predominant customer being the government, the business tempo is erratic on many programs. Many projects operate on long term visions, but short term planning. The volatility both internal, and with the customer, lead to aggressive response times, and teams being ill-prepared to tackle challenges.

UK - Great company

Pros

Historic and great company to work for. You have a lot of backing, and funds to play with. Great exposure to seniors if you want it. I believe LM is really what you make of it, they really love Engineering SMEs but also allow you go to out the box in your career.

Cons

Still very US based, and don't really know how to do business outside of US government to government sales. Still sees the UK business as immature, even though we show them up a lot of times!
