Pros

The work was very interesting and I gained a lot of valuable experience. There are some amazing engineers there to learn from.

Cons

The pay was below average and advancing has become very difficult since Michoud Operations has been merged into Lockheed Martin Space Systems. The workload and overtime expectations were excessive at times (although some overtime is paid, even for salaried positions).

Engineering career advancement is a joke.

Pros

Incredibly interesting work programs, such as aviation, planetary probes, satellites, military systems, information systems, and human-rated spacecraft.

Cons

In my 5 years with Lockheed Martin, among my scores of engineering colleagues I saw just one engineer promoted, and that was at a more junior level. Merit increases are an embarrassment, less than the inflation rate. A broken corporate-wide training tool was deployed which fails to give credit for completed training, then the burden was placed on employees to prove they completed their training. Not only was an apology not made, this disaster was never even acknowledged, a typical corporate behavior.
