Not horrible. Not excellent.

Pros

The work is interesting and challenging, and is in a field that I have significant experience in. Boredom will never be an issue. Significant opportunities to develop skills in areas that may be unfamiliar.

Cons

The pace of the program is intense, and over the time I've been there it's been difficult to maintain a work-life balance. Much of this is due to ever-shifting requirements from the customer, but is exacerbated by the fact that the technical leadership often doesn't have the domain knowledge to understand what is and is not feasible. This often results in scrambling to meet deadlines. Attrition rates for new-hires isn't great, because amidst the chaos there just isn't much opportunity for training and guidance.

Pros

9/80 flex schedule, great place to learn from some very talented people, always something new to work on, good management flow-down

Cons

Difficult to get needed training, even good loyal employees can get lost in the masses when it comes to job recognition, sometimes the bureaucracy gets in the way of progress

Pros

Lockheed Martin has a great benefits program and helps aid towards successful saving in the future. The company operates on flex time which is very convenient.

Cons

It is difficult to move up due to the corporate structure. There is no standard for training. Most people are thrown into a sink or swim environment.
