Pros

I wound up in a position where I would spend time at my desk, the lab, and on ships. I loved the variety. Good coworkers. Management seemed attentive to the "smaller voices".

Cons

There are few downsides I can think of. Perhaps the washrooms were so luxurious that there may have been a loss of productivity? The "heads" on the ships were no so luxurious.

Pros

Lots of different opportunities, different geographic locations, different skills to learn, products to work on. Experts in all different disciplines across the company. They pay for graduate school.

Cons

Easy to get lost or overlooked unless you're outspoken, marketing yourself within the workplace, or you happen to have a great manager. The company is not big on taking risks. The defense industry can be a somewhat stifling for creativity, new technology. Health benefits have gotten worse over the last 5-6 years. Salary is not as high as other industries. Corporate culture is all about "diversity" and other buzzwords and being politically correct.

Pros

Lockheed is a determined company that is really fun to work with. I wished that I could go back to them

Cons

Is making sure that you have everything double checked, they don't want you to be wrong and slip up. Even if you are confident
