Pros

LM really knows how to take care of their interns. They paid for my relocation, gave me interesting and challenging, projects, encouraged development by setting me up with senior leaders, paid my rent, and my director took the time to personally develop me as an employee. The pay was on the higher end as well. Lockheed is full of smart people as well. LM also has a great culture. It is a very ethical and solid company. I took a full time job only because I wanted to be in a major city/be in consulting. However, one day i would love to return to LM in an internal role.

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

Lockheed Martin tries to maintain focus on what is important, overall program success. The company does a good job of decimating information down to the employees. The company has a good life work balance atmosphere. Paid time off is usually granted, unless there is a contract delivery impact. Career growth is very possible due to the large size of the company so long as you are willing to relocate, otherwise it becomes tougher.

Cons

Over the past decade or so, benefits have been eroding . For instance, the out of pocket cost for medical has risen dramatically. Since the company works so closely with the federal government, they have a tendency to become bureaucratic unnecessarily. The company's loyalty to its employees will be sacrificed for the betterment of the company. The pay is on the low end of average end of the pay scale, Not bad enough to make you seriously want to leave, but not good enough to make you not consider leaving. Management focuses too much on yearly compliance training as a performance metric. I have seen employees get dinged on their performance evaluation because they were not timely in completing their training.

Pros

Worked with the a good team wrapping up the finance end of a program. The coworkers were professional, helpful and cared about your success. Fair compensation.

Cons

The largest issue for me was understanding the government system of recording costs, along with acronyms for everything. It was somewhat disorganized at first, but quickly improved.
