Pros

Mostly great people, smart, sharp, talented, hard working. The business itself is exciting and you have a lot of pride being associated with a company like this. Reputation is fantastic and what this company does is cutting edge and trend setting.

Cons

There's definitely a good old boy network, where friends look out for friends. Management believes the first thing they hear about an employee, right or wrong. The employee performance management system is flawed and unethical: management must rate their team in order of value and importance and it's all dependent on what the manager (or the managers manager) thinks of the employee. People are kept around because of who they know, not what they know.

Pros

The mission is to bring people home everywhere, every time. This makes it rewarding and satisfying to support our daily objectives. There seems to be lots of new opportunities to collaborate across Lockheed and likely new career opportunities for those interested in other challenges.

Cons

There has been a lot of transition after Sikorsky was acquired by Lockheed, but there has been good and positive communication throughout the year.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Time off if you can get it.

Cons

Very limited upward mobility. Upper level management tends to get rewarded for the mess they created. To many single point failures when someone is out of office. Appears to be severely under staffed in the technical areas and over staffed in power point status engineering. Upward mobility is severely limited. If you aren't part of the old General Dynamics group you are considered an 'outsider'.Health care is the worst I have seen (major deductible, large out of pocket expense).
