Pros

- Company has changed their outlook over the past few years and younger talent with less experience has been allowed to grow at a faster pace. This is retaining young talent more than the company had in the past. - Company instituted cash performance bonuses for Senior, Staff and Senior Staff level positions. - Overall workplace mindset seems happier and more open than it was 5 or 6 years ago. - Lots of growth potential and ability to switch teams into other roles and functions without leaving the site or company. - Future business outlook looks solid and the company is meeting many major milestones per year

Cons

- Healthcare has definitely gone downhill the past 2 years. I am lucky to be healthy enough to risk the cheaper, higher deductible plans, but someone with significant health considerations should keep that in mind. - It can be extremely difficult to get hired into the company unless you have a connection. This leads to a lot of former military hires without any hands-on experience with the systems they'll be working on getting selected for mid-level or higher roles and failing to keep up. - Many employees continue to "fail up" and get promoted past their level of incompetence

Pros

High level of integrity throughout the company, open communications, and sincere interest in doing the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, I need to come up with twenty words of cons. When in reality after 41+ years in IT, I have no cons for Lockheed Martin. They are not perfect, but highly acceptable.
