Pros
There is a certain prestige to working for Lockheed Martin that I enjoyed while working there. Ability to apply anywhere in the company internally and you are given preference over outsiders. They paid for my master's degree.
Cons
The benefits went downhill, health insurance had huge deductible, lots of managers and not enough workers and on my contract they were laying off more workers to keep budget for managers that couldn't even tell you what they did daily.

Pros
Salary is high and competitive
Cons
It's a behemoth of a company that is old and set in its ways. Upper management and leaders of the company only care that its image is good enough to make it onto marketing materials or for a corporate interview about how they care about veterans, the disabled, or the environment; most of the day-to-day runnings of the departments are by lower-to-middle management and they are often incompetent, small-minded, and corrupt. Most do not care about their staff; they only care about looking good in the Stay-Green Meetings (whether a project is on track), and upper management doesn't care about how the manager got those numbers, as long as they're in the green. This is a company that will not fire a manager for sexual harassment or staff complaints or other egregious actions but will reassign him or her instead. In some segments of industry they say they are cutting edge but in fact are mired in outdated thoughts and processes.

Pros
First - The Moorestown experience will vary greatly depending on what your specialty is (engineering, software, manufacturing, finance, etc), what group you're in, who you report to, and whether you're in one of the unions or not. Second - Most of the people here are boomer LM lifers. They have been doing a decent job of hiring new blood over the last couple of years - nevertheless, most people here have been here for 20+ years and lack perspective on what life is like outside of the warm cocoon they have been enveloped in for decades. The pros: I do very interesting design work with virtually no paperwork. The people I work with are very helpful and happy to share knowledge and expertise. My manager is helpful and always looking to give us new tools and find ways to grow business. I'm busy from the second I walk in until the second I leave, but I am not stressed. Oh, and I work 40 hours a week, unless I need/want to work more, and then if I do, I am paid OT. Worth adding - the main campus is 20/25 minutes outside of Philadelphia.
Cons
The cons: The culture is one of grievance because the typical employee here lacks perspective. They have it very good, but they used to have it slightly better, so Everything is Bad. I am a supporter of organized labor, but the Moorestown unions don't seem to be the best representation of labor. The facilities (main campus) are wretched. It's actually embarrassing. The bathrooms are constantly in a state of disrepair, the halls smell like bathrooms, and the whole place looks like a 1950's hospital.

Pros
Great company benefits - Health insurance, 401k, 3 weeks paid vacation with an extra week off (paid) between Christmas and New Year. Corporate environment is healthy with zero tolerance policies for retaliation and inappropriate behavior. The people I work with act and treat each other with respect like adults.
Cons
Red tape everywhere.... for everything. Figuring out how to navigate it can be difficult. Most teams are matrix type with multiple managers and possibly remote management. Remote management can be either a pro OR a con depending on the manager ;)
