Pros

Great benefit options for employees to include medical, dental and vision. Incorporates online website to access almost anything you can imagine for your own personal data. Starting pay is above par compared to other companies for a similar position.

Cons

High turnover rate in areas which causes lack of experience in critical areas. Not necessarily a company problem but still creates problems none the less. Some training programs take a while to get spun up which leaves employees waiting for critical training.

Pros

I like my coworkers. Hard working folks that truly know their jobs. Functional management has always supported me pursuing (and paying for) my master's degree and additional training. They really want you to be happy where you are and if not they try their best to move you where you might be. Project managers are less interested in your personal growth, especially if it means edging out an extra buck off you on a contract but I suppose that's why functional management exists to complement them.

Cons

Contract work can be difficult. You typically do a lot of flying (but with work from home) if you're not onsite. If you're an onsite analyst you may be asked to relocate and the locations aren't always ideal. Project managers should be more willing to dish out some additional training, especially when I know for a fact they're earning the company two to four times off of me what I earn in a single year.

Mission Assurance, IS&GS Division

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, competitive compensation, good teamwork. Good training opportunities at the corporate level.

Cons

New to the company on large contract; no training provided. Extremely difficult to meet contract performance metrics on large programs - company bid low and over-sold operationally in proposals. Employees were overworked and stressed out working in chaotic environments. Senior management expected employees to perform and metrics to be met, regardless; they didn't feel the pain of the employees on the ground. It's not surprising the division was sold.

Good company to start your career with

Pros

Excellent benefits, great pay, good tuition reimbursement, and you have off every other Friday. There is always plenty of work, therefore you will stay busy.

Cons

No big complaints, other than the no brainer: make sure to take advantage of any career opportunities (training, position openings, etc), but also make sure to "play your hand close to the vest." Some managers get upset if you look outside of your current role or have an overall goal that does not involve your current position. Lockheed is a big company with plenty of opportunities and very successful employees, so I suggest getting a trusted mentor to help out.
