Pros

I enjoyed the people I worked with. I was given opportunities to learn new skills.

Cons

Jobs are at the mercy of the customer and world events. The work is either feast or famine, layoffs are not uncommon due to the contracting cycle.

Pros

Great benefits, good employees can expect to work there as long as they want.

Cons

Lockheed usually deals with large projects that move very slowly, good old boys environment. In rare instances the environment may not be friendly to minorities. The secure environment and the badge in, badge out gates feels confining. Military culture where upward mobility is more based on years of experience.

Pros

Management is understanding of life outside of work leading to great work-life balance.

Cons

Decision making can be very slow which is a reflection of the number of layers of approval necessary for change and the complexity of the products.
