Pros

Benefits are great compared to other companies. 40 hours PTO for 'sick' time ever year (use it or lose it), 120 hours PTO accrued throughout the year. 4/10 schedule (every Friday off). Tuition assistance. Depending on department and manager, allocates 40 hours of technical training for whatever new technology you wish to learn.

Cons

Retention is bad depending on team, in the past 6 mo, have seen 6-8 people change teams/companies. Depending on interests work might be lackluster

Pros

Lots of resources. Extensive training opportunities to keep you sharp and on track. Transparent pay system that helps you understand where you stand in your specific job field.

Cons

Dated mindset in many of its locations. Very slow processes everywhere. Slow hiring process, slow on-boarding process, slow internal processes, etc. No overtime awarded until after donating 5 hours first.

It's a Mixed Bag

Pros

For the Orlando site specifically: 4/10 work schedule. Flexible work hours. Overtime is paid. Overtime can be converted into extra PTO hours (on top of the normal 22 PTO days you get each year (15 accrued, 5 granted, 2 floating holidays). Management always approves PTO requests if submitted at least 1 month in advance. The Software Engineering work is interesting. 6% base salary 401K contribution w/o you having to contribute anything. Up to 10% base salary 401K contribution if you contribute 8%. If you're good, you'll be able to dictate the terms of your stay at Lockheed (to an extent). 1 week of paid training per year (such as a conference you are interested in).

Cons

Government red tape. Only allowed to use software the customer (read: the airforce, navy, etc.) approves. ~6 months to ~1 year for a software request to be responded to. This means Software Engineers will not have a good time. There are A LOT of people who are bad and/or mentally checked out. They should be fired, but the companies comprising the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), such as Lockheed Martin, don't fire people. You can't modify your own machine. Need software installed? IT has to install it. Need to connect to the network? IT has to connect you. Which would be fine... except that the average turn around time of an IT ticket is greater than 1 month. Raises are paltry and based off your level, not your performance. The high performers and the zombie-like low performers all get the same raise. For Senior Software Engineers, the raise is 3.5%. If you do above and beyond, they might increase it by an additional 0.25%. Join a program that's in it's infancy, otherwise you will be maintaining software, or worse, legacy software; which means no career growth outside of Lockheed-specific domain knowledge. You get paid peanuts compared to the cost of living in Orlando.
