Pros

Lockheed Martin is a very competitive place to work, and the dynamics of the employee atmosphere is great. Many of the senior employees are always willing to go out of their way to bring the newer employees along, which makes for a very rewarding experience.

Cons

Communication between the administration and the other employees lacks most of the time. Several employees along with management are spread to thin sometimes with their work loads. This leads to very few or short conversations about employee satisfaction and reviews on the quality of work.

Pros

The company works on really interesting cutting edge technologies. Also, the benefits are great. There is a lot of opportunity to move around the US and the world in different jobs. Also, there is a lot of growth opportunities considering how hard Lockheed Martin will be hit by all of the retiring baby boomers.

Cons

At Lockheed Martin, it is expected that you do a good job, most everyone does. Because of this they have a some what backwards methodology for promotions and advancement. If you do a great job, and focus solely on it, then you will be a good employee and will be able to retire happy...at your current position, and with minute salary increases year over year. To really get ahead with this company you need to take stretch assignments and put yourself out there in ways that are outside of your day to day job. This way you can get noticed by the corporate level management and really move up the ladder....and make some real money. Otherwise, your friends working for companies that make consumer products will always be making more money than you. Also you can kiss Christmas bonuses goodbye with the economy the way it is...especially if you work on a government funded program.

Pros

Benefits, Fair Salary, Flexible Schedule, Tuition Reimbursement, 3 Weeks Vacation, Laid Back Atmosphere, Good direct management (at least mine), I get the feeling the company is truly trying to invest in it's young people. Lot of smart and people to long from if you take the initiative to find them. Everyone is very willing to help you learn, I've never gotten the feeling someone didn't feel like helping me learn something.

Cons

Slow getting started doing things, some things done the "old" way too much. Could have organization on how to key contact information. But that is really dependent on where you are working.
