Pros

Still doing some very exciting scientific and technological work. Job stability is excellent, especially for strong performers. There are opportunities for younger generations to grow quickly if they perform and play politics well since a lot of the workforce is nearing retirement age.

Cons

A lot of red tape and internal politics. Bad managers are allowed to continue being bad managers with HR, Ethics and senior leaders not doing anything to fix it beyond a slap on the wrist and token trainings that don't actually get followed up by meaningful measurements to see if they worked (management science 101). Gets demoralizing for good employees trying to do well and make a difference.

Pros

Lockheed is a great place to gain experience as an engineer. The people are great to work with and the company does a great job making sure everyone is in a safe working environment.

Cons

Lack of effort to develop mid level engineers. Level 1 and 2 engineers are constantly rotating and changing positions but once you get higher than that it becomes much harder to rotate into new roles/sites. Very few experienced engineers are left training new employees over and over.

Pros

Great Salary, Great Training Opportunities, Good Benefits and a Good Work Culture. Focus on you and progressing. I work at a customer site, so I am not exposed to the inhouse stuff that most area working at a Lockheed site.

Cons

PTO could be better, 401k match could be better, but its not bad. Better than most. My previous supervisor was excellent in communication....he was promoted and the current supervisor, is NOT. I have to look up his name because I dont recall who it is.
