Lockheed Martin - slow and steady wins the race

Systems engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It offers a chance to work on technologically complex projects that are crucial to the country's defense system. There are many positions and locations on diverse projects across the U.S. They offer relatively good health and retirement benefits, and a stable environment.

Cons

Competitive Entry-Level Salary, but modest merit increases after that. You will find that similar skilled employees at typical privately owned companies are making more and advancing at quicker pace. Much of the workforce has been there 20+ years, and consequently can be intimidating to younger employees.
