Great company to work for, but at the mercy of Congress's ability to pass a budget...

Business Outlook

Pros

Great projects, great people, good company culture

Cons

Military budget is at the mercy of Congress. If they cut the budget, the military budget goes down, which means program budget goes down, which means workforce reductions are constantly looming around the corner in today's economic instability.

Bloated and inefficient government contractor

Business Outlook

Pros

Low level managers are all engineers with little to no managerial skills and/or people skills. This means they do not delegate properly or know how to track what their people are doing. So if you are looking to simply maximize your pay for “actual” work per hour, Lockheed is great.

Cons

The one and only qualification for recognition at Lockheed is years of service. Skills are a secondary qualifier. If you are under 35-40, be prepared to be treated like an idiot.
