Pros

I can't complain about the pay, wages are set by the Area Wage Determination (AWD) which is determined by the federal government. Hours worked were very flexible, although I believe this was due to my immediate manager, and not due to the company as a whole.

Cons

Benefits are too expensive, even though AWD allocates an additional $3-something to pay for benefits, I was losing about 40% of my paycheck to insure my family of 3. Information about what was going on was impossible to find, everything I heard was based on the local rumors. Seemed like the company was only concerned about their overall profits.

It's not What you Can Offer, it's Who You Know -

Pros

Large enough to offer a variety of career paths. Competitive salaries and benefits.

Cons

Growing your career depends on Who you Know, not What you Can Offer. I had the misfortune of working at an LM support office for an AFB in Illinois; there was a Triad of Power that 'ran things'. My supervisor was remote - located on the east coast - and when I reported the difficulties I encountered, he CONFIRMED them. His response was "most of Lockheed isn't like this". So, if you're considering a position with LM, check the specifics Thoroughly. BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU STEP IN; YOU MAY BE SCRAPING IT OFF YOUR SHOE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

Good Career company

Pros

Challenging work and the ability to move to other projects. Good salary compensation as well as flexible hours. Great co-workers that are always willing to help.

Cons

Managers looking out for protecting themselves and their positions rather than valuing the employees doing technical work. It did not use to be like that - but it appears that is becoming the norm. Overtime required at times to accomplish assigned tasks.
