Pros

Easy to get learning and going. People are very friendly and easy to work with. Many opportunities to move around within the company or even across business units. Work/life balance is pretty good - get a lot of holidays and they operate on a 9/80 schedule which gives you every other Friday off.

Cons

Too traditional in how the company operates. Majority of the employees are much older so processes don't change very much and it can be hard to really implement change in any way. Working for a defense contractor requires a certain personality and don't expect to be impresses by the office space or buildings. Lockheed hardly upgrades anything except their products.
