Lockheed Martin is a great place to work if you understand that you are working for a very large defense company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lockheed Martin has provided me with countless oppurtunities to advance myself and my job experience. There are many employee perks including reimbursement for gym membership, education, and commuting, great employee discounts at a variety of stores, museums, and dealerships, and a solid 401k matching for the retirement plans.

Cons

The commuication between the management and the engineers is lacking. I have experienced many problems that have been exclusively due to poor communication. I suppose that this is a systemic problem in many companies of Lockheeds size, but there have been few attempts to remedy this problem.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability of work force, security clearance attainment, employee discount program is excellent.

Cons

401k plan has poor investment choices and exorbitant fees. Government contracting is almost all they do and the government budgetary system and contracting policies are very counter-productive and frustrating.

Business Outlook

Pros

Big Company with many opportunities with descent pay. The company has top notch technology and some great resources. Compensation in terms of pay and tuition reimbursment are good. The company has many positions and with some political savvy one can find a very rewarding position.

Cons

Very bureaucratic and not very progressive in career growth. Hostile environment for minorities. The company has some organizational challenges. Many younger engineers leave due to the lack of advancement and perceived lack of concern for career growth and challenging opportunites. The company has some cultural issues it is seeking to address, but the leadership gets in the way of itself at times.
